So were Juraj and Kolar in the front group already? Or did they get across with Peter? And how did the TV directors miss all this?

Here's the Strava leaderboard for that section 2.2km at 67.7km/h average!

Dat leaderboard... wow

And how did the TV directors miss all this?

A Flemish crew, mind! They too knew exactly where all chaos & panic would start

In second group they knew me as Sagan they grey. Then into the deep red and fight the Balrog - across to the other side in 1st group as Sagan the white.

European Track Champs: the new omnium is shit. Thoughts?

Agree

They didn't show it so other directors couldn't see what was happening. Cahoots.

First stage of Hainan Tour, China. LOL.

I fucking love a fail celebration. Too cocky for you're own good.

He won today. Then took out two Lampre riders as he spelt out his sponsor's name to the TV camera. Top lols.

But at 6' 5 and 89 kgs, you're not going to argue with him.

To be fair, both those Lampre douchebags rolled into him with their heads down. They'd never get away with that nonsense if they'd raced CTT events...

But Walscheid would've been disqualified for performing a u-turn within 200 yards of the finish line.

#knowyourcttregs

It wasn't a U-turn and was more than 200yds. Most local regs are line of sight I think. I don't know, I don't do U-turns anywhere because I'm paranoid about DQ. Anyway, just shows that putting your head down in the middle of 100 riders is stupid.

Ben swift to TJ Cycling (Lampre-Merida), really hope he does well, his podiums at MSR shows what he is capable of with the right opportunity. Second to 'take-a-tow' Demare of course.

Ben Who?

33rd at Monsal Hillclimb

Even I was in the top-20 there...

Hope he goes the way of the ardennes classics, could really flourish there I think.

And tbf, he rode 240km in Italy the day before

He did 24 days of racing in WT races this year, he's as entitled as any other Movistar rider to celebrate their success.

416 likes .. that will attract loads of contracts

i guess he's already drunk from celebrating?!
