WvA being a gentleman for holding back when he was cornered!!!!
He just likes his face the way it is
A gentleman who likes his face the way it is 🙂
@@tonyg3091
@@alinapopescu872 true....but he saved others from plastic surgery as well, right?
@@pauljansen1137 Right.
I applaud van Aerts restraint when things got close to going to S on the barriers.
What was he gonna do, continue straight and crash into phillipsen ?
@@POS36 course fkn' not, but he could've kept power going to the rear wheel and not conceded.
@@seanmccuen6970 think deep down he might be thinking for a JP DQ
How he had judged to have won the sprint when he clearly deviated off his own sprint line to take the racing line of the circuit. He should have left a bike width to his right as he crossed the finish.
The argument would have been that he didn't leave the same gap between himself, Van Aerts and the right side at the start of his sprint to the line. Still no point Van Aerts risking it on the 3rd day with another possible Sprint opportunity for day 4.
They don’t call him Jasper Disaster for no reason. Chapeau WVA for showing restraint
I don't have anything against jasper but it's about fairness...I would have disagreed with wout if he block someone also
GCN, im just curious, but why would you reveal the winner of the stage before showing us on screen? It really kills the excitement and joy of it...
non sense
I really dislike when channels reveal the winner in the title or with the cover shot, but I've noticed that GCN never does that. FloBikes does, NBCSports does, but GCN makes a point not to do that.
@@georgedarden4742 Right, but commentary announces the winner at 3.02 and he doesn't cross the line till 3.18.
Don’t watch it then - simple!
@@jakebrown3822 Ah. I see.
I think that was a very borderline call by the officials. To my mind, JP looked like he was going to keep drifting to the right and hook WvA.
Yeah, Philipsen hooks right just before the line. If Wout was there, it would have been a bad crash.
totally agree
To me it looks like the road widened before narrowing slightly. Philipsen was just maintaining a straight line, ie the shortest distance between him and the line. It would help if the organisers finished a sprint stage with a straight, erm, finishing straight! Which is entirely possible on a wide slightly curved road.
@@Bozza36elHe did.
That leadout from MvdP tho…
🙃Maybe don’t put a turn in the final 200 meters?
soon they will have the finish line in the middle of a corner. Give the people what they want!
@@chronic888 and bunch of riders leaving the race while being banged up!
Philipsen absolutely changed line and cut off WVA... hats off to him for being a man about it. Not sure I could be as reserved as him.
3:35 Philipsen exactly in the middle of the road.
3:40 Philipsen almost at the barrier with barely a rider's width in between.
What is this? He didn't keep his line at all. If he starts his sprint in the middle of the road and a corner is coming up, then he was ill positioned and has no right to block other riders.
The course curved, he was riding in a straight line from the left hand bend to the right hand bend. It's terrible course design.
sprinter stage with the finish line just after a turn
Genius!
yeah 200km stage, but lets finish the sprint downhil and in the corner lol TDF
Pogačar is smiling while on a hill-
True ambassador for the sport.
Great to see smiling gc leaders!
Look at how steady everyone keeps their bike while sprinting compared to Jasper who is throwing it around and drifting right. He knew who was there.
Don’t think so man he is a bit all over the place but he still got the win, i mean he isn’t called jasper the disaster for nothing
yeah can see it forces to close possible gab,what a terrible kid things to win
Jasper was in The wrong on that sprint! He closed out Wout.
Van Aert has bieng mature 👏👏👏
You meant to write that he has matured.
You'll get it right eventually my friend, no worry!
@@petermihacerar1137 I ment, he acted in this moment as a matured rider. Thank you for correcting =)
Rob Hatch so great pronouncing names, -just one little correction to Mads P, where the a is a flat a like in "have"
Jasper finished his sprint exactly on wout line,what kind out ruling is that
He didn't move over until after Wout dropped back 🤷🏻♂️
@@SatrnOnemeans u can dropped wout too?
Football VAR level.
The commiseurs are bad.
@@SatrnOne wout drop back because he was blocked
Things not really helped by the confusing white lining on the run in
🔥🔥🔥
It is funny mattias skjelmose got declassfied for way less not even a win, but jesper is clearly sabotaging wout right here for a win potentially.
Blame it on the curving barriers.
He followed UCI rules and took the straightest line through the curve, the barriers came out a little bit at the curve. Jasper had the advantage of being the first one through the chicane. They barely made contact and neither leaned into the other. This is purely on the course designer
Sure, the barriers were poorly placed. But if you are sprinting and your rival needs to hit their brakes because there is no longer room for them between you and the barriers, that is not fair racing. It doesn't matter how you got there, you have gained an unfair advantage.
@@SatrnOne watch?v=CFzEGuavnbI&ab_channel=LanterneRouge 6:41
@@wesleythill1255he held his line and wouts line got cut off by the barriers. Poor scouting by his team management. Phillipsen did everything right.
mmm tomorrows stage looking punchy
We'll see if how long A.Yates can hold on to the Yellow Jersey going into week 2-3.
Mark Cavendish did well to stay in contention even though it was a difficult Sprint finish with a unique corner to the line.
We are looking at the moment from the top, where we see most of the ground. However, that's not what you see when you are on the ground looking forward, you attention goes to the walls on the sides.
Notice he kept his distance consistently to the wall at right. That's fair ride all the way.
in the full overhead shot you can see philipsen keeps hugging the barriers on the right all the way until the finish line, he even nearly crashes into the barriers himself right before the line. yes he can take the fastest lane to the finish, thats why he slid over to the right at the bend, but after the bend the fastest lane is straight and not continuing to follow the barriers. it seems clear to me that his priority was to make sure to close out van aert, not to take the fastest lane to the finish line
Wrong wrong wrong.
Cav never got it right, but I am still hoping for him to come good. He's proven , can do it. Come on Cav!
Because the TDF is a team sport not an international event, I wish the rider graphics would emphasize their team jerseys over the national flags.
I am with this motion
Full Tour de France coverage and highlights are available free on ITV 4
They need to start marking out sprint lanes, how can they enforce that rule on a corner!?
They can't. That's why he wasn't relegated
This idea of sprint lanes is the most absurd I have ever heard of.. someone who has tried the sport even once would understand why it would not work…
@@deusexmachinawl Rule :Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching into the sprint and, in so doing, endangering others. I'm only suggesting marking lanes so it will be clear of someone deviates.
@@Mikadobiscuits I understood but practically is impossible.. what is a sport has got 10 riders? How are they going to find lanes? Are they using indicators to overtake or undertake? Come on please
Hebat👍
By-On, who knew 😂
what are the polka dot standings?
It is Sagan, Jakobsen and Mads Pedersen in the first 3 places.
Powless by a country mile.
As ever, why the face nappies?
Wrong! Not available in Canada on GCN+. Can you fix this please?!?!?! I pay a subscription and don’t get it.
Cracking textbook sprint but all those roads in France and the organisers can’t mark out a pure straight finishing line for around 250 metres? The finish line itself didn’t even look to be at right angles to the sprinting line. It looked to be at right angles to the edge of a curved road, which is not the same thing.
Not a surprise! Fabio lost lead out whell
Again🙄 hoping for North wind Tomorrow to create a little exicetment.
No wind Philipsen Again.
why is the announcer calling the final before the footage ends?
Stupid geography question. At 0:36 there is a map of France. On the bottom left is the basque country. What is the disconnected island bit on the bottom right? Is that Madagascar?
Hours riding and 5 mins of not much highlights. So glad I ride DH 2 hours racing and pretty much 2 hours highlights from last weekend
It isn't on GCN+ though. Fully subscribed and look every day and there's nothing there...
Depends on what country you're in. Some have exclusive broadcasting rights, like NBC here in the USA
WVA saved the day and the judges took a wrong decision. They should have canceled the win and acknowledged what he has done. WVA is a great rider and leader and am a bit sad that he did not have the opportunity to shine. Honestly, he might qualify as a leader rather than helper.
Was it Jasper Philipsen or Dylan Groenewegen who won the stage?
Jasper, by about half a bike length
@@SatrnOne Dylan Groenewegen almost killed Fábio Jakobsen in Tour de Pologne 2020 by pushing him into the barriers leaving no left space. Like Philipsen did on Wout Van Aert today.
Finally!
The barriers were uneven twas in a corner...
Not bad WvA
Van Aert is best of all sprinter but he's blocked by jasper Philip
That disaster lad should tryout for a hockey team for that cutting abilities
Great highlights but please don’t tell us who is going to win before the footage is shown!
why did wout not sprint at the finish?
4:10 still dont get it why is there no second girl at the podium
Some woke crap !
Please dont reveal the winner with 500m to go, ruins alot of the emotion..
Apart from that great recap :)
Note: just look at the white line of the road, tour de france authorities are known for something they cant see.
the rule only apply to sagan 😂😂😂
All this against the background of the worst rioting in France in the last 18 years. Fortunately at present the TDF is being held in southern France 🇫🇷,away from the troubled regions.
Do you even know France? Marseille is in the south.
If Wout hadn't held back and crashed (or almost crashed) Philipsen would've been set back. disgusting inconsintency in the sprint deviations.
Fabioooooooooo watcha doin???
Still no yellow bike for the leader
Please don't give away thr finish in the commentary before the finish
Lafay la fait
Do we really need to give away what's going to happen before it does?
I am not sure about that call...JP without a doubt continued to drift to the right until finish line! This is the reason, I admire WvA - he let it go without a fuss.
Why would you tell us before the sprint that Cav only managed to finish in the top ten! You might as well give us the results before you show the race!
you can't blame Jasper may be the problem is by people who arranged those barrier. because he was even gonna clash in them
Van Aerts was the real winner, by not pouting. poor finish design, what happened to the 200 meter straight aways at finish?
Why tell us the result before the finish? Commentate on the lead up to the finish without telling us who has finished in the tip 10 before it's happened.
still 1000% better than eurosport though! they have the spoiler on the video thumbnail even!
@@andreasolsson2336 Agreed. I appreciate how GCN doesn't reveal the winner in the thumbnail or in the video title the way that virtually every other cycling channel does.
Well done Philipsen 👏🔥😬
Great work UAE Team 👌
Bizarre commentary in the edit. At least I didn’t need to watch the last 10 seconds to see who won. Thanks.
Waut was blocked, thats dirt sprint strategy...but still a strategy
Damn not cool. WVA had that, JP messed it up. You can see WVA give up to basically secure his safety.
JP is also a great guy so props to him for winning if that's what the UCI believes. But damn that's a hard one to judge!
Both caleb and Jasper should be relegated. How come nobody talks about Ewan going right to left in the last corner?? A finish to be forgotten and never done again
"nothing wrong for jasper". LOL he boxed in WVA it's obvious he was drifting right.
They spent 20 minutes looking at it and decided he didn't. It was poor course design for the current UCI sprinting rules.
Relegate the man and be done with it!
JP win definitely shady, he knew exactly what he was doing. Massively disappointing of Alpecin to have to cheat to win.
Its fairly simple to measure distance to barrier even when going around a corner. JP got away with one there, WvA playing it long.
It's not about the distance to the barrier, is about going straight toward the finish line. Jasper to the straightest route to the finish line, which is what the UCI wants sprinters to do. The problem was that the course wasn't straight.
Watching the replies of the final sprint, still waiting for the outcome , gotta say, listening to GCN and guests on eurosport the benefit of actual sprinters explaining.. something the judges don't listen to.. he did not push the other rider. They cycled relative to the course in a straight line..hopefully he keeps his 1st place
Yeah, they deliberated for a full 20 minutes. They better stick to their ruling because they had more than enough time to relegate him, of they wanted to.
All these "experts" sitting on their couch, casting blame on riders like they have even the slightest clue what it's like to partake in what is surely extreme chaos. People assuming every error or minor lapse in judgement is some ill-intentioned, purposeful act meant to harm others. The barriers were set up like trash, it wasn't a straightforward run-in, and mass sprints are always going to be hectic at the best of times. They're putting out world class watts at ungodly speeds and everyone in the comments acting like it should be a perfectly clean and simplistic affair with no movement whatsoever. It's just racing, it's always going to be crazy. Wout literally threw a bottle onto the ground and into the wheels of all the riders behind him yesterday... who the f*ck is he to be getting sympathy about "safety" less than 24hrs later? I don't care about Wouts bottle throw but find the level of hypocrisy and bias in the comments section hilarious.
well said most people just want to argue
Rather everybody leave it to those who actually raced and ruling to the those who do know better😊
Unfortunate for wout :(
I thought it was supposed to be sunny and stinking hot in Europe but it all looks overcast and miserable…..
3:12. Look at philipsens line lmao. What a "tacky" move by him.
No honour in winning like this imo.
can we just have a video of this guy pronouncing every European city name??
Nothing there… unfortunately every time the brits get involved in sport competitions they like to introduce so many rules, regulations, and red tapes… it is a sad truth. The only saving grace for cycling is that the major races are not in UK so they still retain a level of romantic unpredictable nature.. some in the Uk even propose sprint lanes. You do not need to add much to it…
Wrong decision from UCI again, such a dangerous sprint end
It was dangerous because the UCI dictates that they need to sprint in a straight line, but then allow finishes that include a curve in the last 100 meters.
I don't understand this stubbornness of the race organizers to generally want to make sprint finishes with a curve less than 300m or even 200m from the line. It's dangerous and in addition it boils down to a war of placement to whoever will approach the curve first.
It's ridiculous is what it is.
Why on earth would you tell us who was going to win before the finish? Bad commentary
Disqualified!
I could see from Tucson, AZ. that was a bad sprint. Shameful!
Wout could have kept his sprint and let Jasper crash him into the barrier and jasper would have been relegated but Wout was smart and didn’t want to get injured. This was definitely intentional by jasper and he got a hand slap and the victory everyone knows who should have won
its a foul
Philipsen should be disqualified, he pushed him all the way from the left into the right hand barrier.
He was in first posission and the sprint was in a corner. Only one to blame is the organisation in my opinion.....
The judges spent 20 minutes dissecting it, and they disagree with you. He sprinted a straight line through a curve. Even Wout isn't angry about it.
Why would you tell us who wins before the end of the race ? Ridiculous !
First
Many of us aren’t able to watch the race live. I’m pretty sure that most of the people watching these highlights haven’t seen the stage in advance. Could you PLEASE stop spoiling the results before they have crossed the finish line? It’s just poor sportsmanship! Thanks.
He cheated, he got on the way!
The barriers got in the way, you mean.
Imagine Aert being Cavendish, where would all this end up?
literally won by pushing guy into barriers he 100% did it intentionally waving into right to cut only possible way to lose, coward move if u ask me
He rode a straight line through a curve and the barriers came out toward the course at the apex of the turn.
It's really disgusting to see QAnon Quinn wearing the Stars and Stripes jersey this year. Not well liked by other riders either or the European sporting press. Too bad character isn't taken into consideration for national titles!
Commentary for these highlights is appalling! Giving away the result mid clip. Just use the live feed commentary, you’ve delivered this with all the enthusiasm of a dying fly
Terrible tour this year only one time trial maybe worst tour ever
I wish the commentators would stop all the boring self-adulating jokey chit chat. Though the Irish champ does not participate. I have to turn sound off. watch FLO and it’s far more professional with Andrew and Nico. Even though GCN agree they are debasing themselves. I watch for the race and the cycling not their silly \in-joking?!?!
Yet again! The commentator totally spoiling things. Why tell us what's going to happen before we watch it unfurl on the screen. Totally ridiculous.
Will it be safe to ride around France? Many africanos destroying, burning etc all across France while Emanuel Macron does nothing.
Macron is a young global leader graduate of uncle Schwab's den of freaks , so it is all by design , to destroy the middle class furthermore and usher in the smart cities ! It is funny , i have never seen those hoodlums along the route , they are just not interested in bike racing ! Cheers , my friend !
Van Aert has the worst luck in these first 3 days, smh.
Same as last year I believe when he had a couple of 2nd places before putting the hammer down.
@@tonyg3091 correct, lets hope he puts the hammer down in the next couple of weeks. He should have at least 1 win right now.
The barriers jutted out so made it look worse than it was..bad barrier design so close to the finish. Blame the organisers for that one I think. Ps..if you have ever rode a bike you tend to not openly leave gaps for riders to pass you
