Mix of various interests. Might know things.

@OldStationSt I so badly wanted to go to this but couldn’t justify the tickets and hiked prices for transport/food/hotels etc. So disappointing

@DjStoner27 @faustocoppi60 Her position didn’t help, I agree. But if Gery just slides back this whole corner is a non-issue and we have ourselves a genuine race. With this move there’s an asterisk over the 8 seconds as it stands, which is unfortunate for the race

@chickenrice87 @pjbouten @WielerFlits I see what you mean. I could equally argue that Kopecky conceded space to a GC rider based on the clip.

I said elsewhere it’s marginal, but with the DS stating it was the tactic, I see an issue. Why not simply complete the corner in line then let Demi’s wheel go for example

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@chickenrice87 @pjbouten @WielerFlits Many things can be true in parallel: Demi had better legs at the finish, ELB helped massively, and Kasia was blocked to created the gap. All part of racing and all marginal of course, but it’s the obvious deliberate nature that is disappointing to see in a TDFF finale

@Ottow_da_fe @LucGrefte I don’t think anyone is saying it isn’t a clever move. They’re both cunning and arguably shady tactics. The difference with Kwiato is that he doesn’t ride the GC opponent to the kerb, it’s free road he just shuts the apex, v different

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@pjbouten @WielerFlits All the Demi bots out tonight I see 😂

Good luck to all the racers tomorrow, hopefully no more shady moves. Let the legs decide

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@pjbouten @WielerFlits Gery straightens her cornering to close her to the kerb. It’s blatant obstruction

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@Always_Boots 21! Pure joy

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@BenjiNaesen @laflammerouge16 If she hits that kerb we’re having a totally different conversation and it would ruin the best TDFF yet. It was deliberate and dangerous

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@faustocoppi60 If Kasia doesn’t ease off when squeeze to the side by Gery then she crashes on that kerb. Gery has also finished but carries on sprinting the corner exit, punished in sprints to why not here if dangerous? To me it’s shady

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@NairoInGreen @BenjiNaesen Likewise!

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@Domestique___ This statement makes zero sense. Kasia is hardly a breakaway rider

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@hetiskoers @ThomasBraun_ @thijszonneveld Your own photo evidence disproves your point. She was into a block headwind

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@NairoInGreen She had a massive kick at the end…where was that on the climb 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@BenjiNaesen Aside from having better tactics and climbing legs, Kasia also looks to have far better gearing for this climb. She’s spinning and they’re grinding…complete win today 💪

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@LucGrefte Was completely pointless team flexing pre-climb

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@lukascph Why on earth were Movistar burning domestiques before the climb?

[Along the corridors 🗣️ @Longcorridors]

@AlastairWood4 @BenjiNaesen She genuinely doesn’t look like she will or can! 😱
