@@kiddoplanet_nl But who reads the comments before watching the video?

@@brendanerskine4158 On the mobile you showed up as the top comment wich is visible on portrait mode 😅 But no worries, i forgive you 😝

@@kiddoplanet_nl Oh, it wasn't my comment 🙂

But yet he hit the front at 275 meters in stage 3 and won with everyone on his wheel so go figure

he only wins when the whole team shelters him, take away his top paid team at these events and he'd win nothing

@@scotty5166 Hold it, of course he has already won races by simply coming off his opponents' wheel. The Manx Missile is also able to choose his launching point himself. Simple example : he won stage 14 of the 2016 Tour de France coming off Marcel Kittel's wheel.

@@BulletJS it was a headwind finish…

@@scotty5166 tell me you know nothing about Cav's record without telling me you know nothing about Cav's record..... If you think he only ever wins sprints because of having a top lead out train then I'd like to welcome you to pro-cycking - as you're clearly new to it.

He won't beat the pure sprinters. I'm thinking he's the next perenial Green jersey, like what Sagan used to be.

Reminds me of Sagan a few years ago

@@WanderingSword remember this is his first ever grand tour I hope he will show us in this tour, more to come up yet

So impressive consistency!! He always on the top of Five. It’s easy you can see his capability. He’s really amazing.

@@EH-be6fc Any sprinter that is battling in a bunch sprint is going to find himself in top 5. In the perspective of a bunch sprinter he's consistently LOSING and isn't proving anything other than he can't quite win yet

Hope he was only angry at himself. What a boneheaded move

He's killing it though - doing really well

He had a reasonable chance to keep Demare boxed in for a second or so to have a decent push at the line - but hard to sprint against pure sprinters as a puncheur.

I think he will🤞🏼

He needs a lead out man who can actually drop him off in a good position. But he also needs to work on positioning . He must of stopped his sprint 2-3 times

I'll get one!

I agree...on the first sprint he has beaten Demare under my eyes...amazing ryder

Natey haftey brava

For real man .. bini his first time computing with Goliath’s taken 3rd behind Cavandish wow 🤩 my bini proud of him nennn

It's not so easy.You need a rider,or some riders,three,maybe four to make a train.These guys must be fast and strong,with the last one being often a sprinter himself. This riders trained during winter to do this special and intense effort. Girmay prolonged with Intermarché.Sure,it will be talking bout that for next year. But there's also negative things about a train.Because Girmay is not a pure sprinter,but he is more than a sprinter.In junior categories,he won Evenepoele and also Pogacar.He will need some riders to help him for some difficult races like Le Ronde(Tour des Flandres)

@@johnrectangle6034 this isn’t necessarily true and there are guys on intermarche who are strong enough to lead girmay out. The whole point of a lead out is to let your sprinter do less of an effort so just having one guy who would be able to bring him to the top 3-5 wheels within 500-200 to go would be golden

to be fair the leadout moves right with his team mate and maybe gaviria didn't expect that and was hoping to jump through the gap. Still 100% his fault though and he deserved to get relegated at the minimum.

Deserved to be disqualified and taken oit of the Giro tbh. You can't punish these actions hard enough in a 60km/h sprint. We all saw what Groenewegen did to Jakobsen...

@@Fyr35555 Nah just a dumb move, leadouts always drop out at that distance from the finish and the only direction he could go was right, he should’ve just waited. Bol was also pushed to the right by him, he had no intentions to go there

If Peter Sagan had done that that’s all we would be talking about !

If he ran into Bouhanni like that there would've been punches thrown.

He is knocking on the DOOR!

Very true he need a lead out man up to at least 800 meter

The only thing he is doing is consistently losing. If you are going to attempt a bunch sprint the goal is not to be consistent top 8, it is to WIN!! I would NOT be proud of a consistent top 5 finish and no wins if I was team manager or a sprinter.

@@kenkaniff8428 I think he is going for the points classification. He is currently sitting in #2. Not bad.

@@crispusmahea2135 as a sprinter he is wanting the WIN!! You don't join bunch sprints in a world tour to consistently lose. He is luckily staying in contention for the points jersey but TRUST ME he is TRYING to win!! He's not joining a bunch sprint to get top 5 every time. That is NOT the plan! I PROMISE you that!! 2nd place in points classification is just a byproduct

right?

Thanks Peter!

We think so too!

Trying to stay upright?

@@tonycrabtree3416 By crashing into Bol and Dainese? That's a really weird way of trying to stay upright...

@@andrew7taylor I only see him rubbing shoulders with one other cyclist. Being serious. The one in front of him faded right and that forced him right.

@@tonycrabtree3416 watch it again. Gavira slams into Bol.

Guess he thought he was stealing that leadout man's wheel. But he had horrible timing, taking it right as the leadout guy peeled off,.. and horrible position, getting himself on the wrong side of the wheel in order to block the other sprinter from it, but then trapping himself as the leadout man peeled off. I wonder if he was relegated. He obviously blew any chances of that other sprinter.

I really like Lennard but this move was just stupid. Do you expect he gains exactly 38 sec on Lopez tomorrow? Me neither :D He should save his energy until tomorrow

@@permerte5118 He is slowly chipping away. Shows he is serious. Edit: and if you look at tomorrow's profile - so many climbs - 38 seconds are very possible.

Bora going for the coup. Call it the cycling weekly curse because they mentioned zero bora riders in their preview.

@@jonathanzappala And Wilco Kelderman their actual GC - but they literally have 3 guys who can take it if things goes wrong with any of them. Including Jai Hindley - another GC and climber. Man I like this team for the climbs.

@@HBosman You didn't get my point. Yeah maybe he gains time tomorrow. But then 1 Second doesn't matter, whether it is more or less than 38 Seconds. It is quite an effort for just 1 Second

I don’t think Cav is that excited about “moral victories.”

@@stalkek as a HUGE Cav fan I have to say you are correct😂

Basically they kind of want a mouse to catch. If the peloton’s on the front on a flat stage, everyone gets twitchy about who’s doing the work etc, it’s almost like there’s too much time to think. Having a breakaway, even solo, gives you a short term goal - so best take your time reeling him in on a rather deathly stage like today. Hope that helps!

I'd also add something to what has been said. When there's a breakway, it means that anyone that wants to escape the peloton still has the breakaway riders to beat, which may not be easy as they have the opportunity to sit on the wheel of the fresher riders and then beat them on the line. On the other hand, if they catch the breakawy too soon (60 or so km to go), it means that there's a stage up for grabs for anyone who escapes the peloton. Generally, the pace set by the peloton is different if there's 60 or 30km, meaning teams won't chase as hard at 60km to go , as they'd have nothing left in the last 10-15km.

and also a standoff between gc teams to see who will take up (or work on the front) the chase.

Catching a breakaway too early can cause ANOTHER breakaway which may be MORE successful because the new breakaway doesn't have to hold off the peloton as long

No his lead out went too early, no legs left sadly mis timed, and he knew he'd blown it

@@neilplatt1111 yes, exactly right

If you are attempting bunch sprints and consistently getting top 5 that is NOT something a team manager or a sprinter would be happy with. In bunch sprints if you keep getting top 5 it's called "consistently losing" He needs a team better suited for leadouts!! You need more than one leadout man. You need 3 or 4 riders in a leadout train. ONE guy is not going to get you where you need to be very often unless he is a veteran like Renshaw and even then Renshaw had help so Bini needs a team that is trained and familiar in this discipline but he is too young and not PROVEN yet so he's not going to get a team built around him anytime in the next 2 years. He is still learning and not learning what he needs to learn. POSITIONING IS EVERYTHING!!

Consistently coming in top 5 in a bunxh sprint is NOT anything a team manager or a sprinter would be happy with. That is considered consistently losing!

@@kenkaniff8428 geesh you’re putting in quite an effort. You acknowledged the guy is young, needs to gain experience and that his success is being hampered by the limitations of his team. Are fans not allowed to express their happiness in what he is able to accomplish? You clearly know that winning is a process, and the guys on the podium are well advanced in that process.

@@PayMeNoMind I agree with your motivational words. Of course he is doing awesome and sharing and gaining experience! I personally don't have deep knowlege how it works on cycling sprinter,but as a cycle comptetion fun I am very happy and surprised on him for what amazing accomplishment he has done so far ! Besides, those well known top winners witnnesed and they are encouraging him. I am sure his team manager is happy like me and he will train him well if there is anything that he has been missing so far. Once again I thank you so much for your golden and constructive motivational words.

@@PayMeNoMind I'm just getting tired of all the convoluted comments about him being "the best", "the fastest ever", "the future of sprinting" etc etc cos it's just not accurate. Some of the Bini fans don't have a clue about cycling or sprinting. They are just going on and on like this guy is the best thing ever and he simply IS NOT. He's not even tried and tested yet. The guy may never be any good but he may end up being great but right now he is far from this NEVER BEFORE SEEN sprinting talent. I'm just getting tired of it. It's getting to me. I have my favourite riders but I don't lie to myself. I'm practical and call it like it is. These Bini fans (MOST of them) are just uneducated on the discipline of sprinting. They are lying to themselves which is a disservice to the rider and the team and themselves. I'm just really getting tired of hearing such unfounded nonsense about this Bini lad. I hope he does great. I have nothing against him. It's what his fans are saying that is getting tiresome real fast. It's only been a week and I'm so sick of hearing total nonsense and just plain stupid comments. By all means, cheer your rider in but don't be blind or talk about things you know NOTHING about. Half these fans probably never watched a race till this week. It's clear from their comments. I don't wish bad on anyone. I hope the lad does well in the sport but these fans need to be realistic and practical and stop with the totally senseless comments Edit: I just reread my comment and it is a bit harsh but it's just a byproduct of the fans talking nonsense and it's getting old really quickly

@@kenkaniff8428 hopefully he proof you on stage 10! Now accept that how he is talented on sprinting, even the best sprinter!

should have read up, he did get relegated. shame to see him throw so much away on this behavior.

mistaken again, i was thinking bouhanni and typed gaviria.

@@darrelduke you've totally confused me. Who got relegated?

It was Gaviria and he was relegated. Even had the cheek to argue with the DSM rider after the finish.

😂

Bol should've beaten him retarded what he did..

His reason was to take the wheel of that leadout man. That happens a lot. In this case, he chose the wrong time to do it, and got on the wrong side of the wheel and ended up trapping himself (along with ruining any chance the other sprinter had)

Don't feel bad for him. That's the sprinters life. I'm a HUGE Cav fan but look at it like this. He's 37 and STILL winning bunch sprint in world tours!! He's STILL consistently beating 22 year olds!!

@@kenkaniff8428 I know Ken, you're right. I have followed him since the start, am dreading his retirement TBH.

@@johnratcliffe6438and so am I but it's coming. He's the greatest sprinter ever! I've met him 11 times and have taken many pics together with him. My most prized possessions are my 8 pics with Cav, my Union Jack that he signed, my British Cycling Jersey he signed and a few other items. I've followed him from day one! A TRUE LEGEND!! People say he's arrogant but he's great to his fans. He has trained in my hometown many times. The man is TOP NOTCH no question about it! Cheers🤘🇬🇧

Gaviria STILL has Richeze here in the Giro...

That's absolutely true 👍 💯
