Fan Breaks Soudal Rider’s Teeth + Cavendish Has A HUGE Problem - Wild Ones Pro Show TdF Stage 1 

You looked pleased as punch 😂 or was that just because of the Scott 1-2

Love the show. But l would have watched it earlier if l know Tony was on. Bloody legend 😊

That was one of the greatest finishes I've watched in 30 yrs of watching every single stage of every TDF. At 10k to go I thought they'd get caught, at 4k I thought for sure they'd get caught. But when they showed the view of that last corner, I was amazed they held the gap. Awesome!

Surprised you came on after the roasted your ride. 😜

Thanks for being on!

Cav sincerely deserves it because, let’s just say, it was a different time when the other guy set the record.

You are correct. That was one of the worst ‘corrections’ I’ve heard. Cavendish is definitely the greatest sprinter of all time and Merckx was not a sprinter, but is considered the greatest cyclists of all time (if you don’t mind the doping bans) 🤷‍♂️

@@rob-c. I love how some cyclists get a pass on the oul doping but others never hear the end of it.

The margins get smaller the higher the speed, so Cav was probably averaging something like 35, which is still insane.

@hendrixinfinity3992 That was my guess, circa 34 to 36kph. Which as you say is insane.

Probably needs to get used to the heat.

Nah it's all a plans

No way in hell.

That teams sole purpose this tour is to get him that win. They’re not going to expend more energy than they need to on an opening hilly day

Been done.

Agreed. Also, I bet Pogi is chomping on the bit to lead out.

maybe not ha

This is social media. If you don’t want to know what’s happened, you know what to do…..

😂😂

@@emilychilds8085do you know if the spectator who caused that awful accident before the race even started was charged at all? Someone throwing crisps in Poggi and Jonas faces would later be charged with aggravated assault (also should have been charged with wanton waste of good crisps too, but that’s a whole other discussion) My point being, if someone can be charged with aggravated assault (and rightly so) for the “crisps incident”, how the hell can someone who breaks 3 teeth of a Pro Rider - before the stage had even started no less - get away with doing so? Just asking in case you were aware of any further context to that incident and can clarify if they were charged, as I never heard any more about it. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing during that pre-stage live stream! Maddening. Considering the cost of fixing that Riders teeth (not to mention the pain, and emotional and mental distress in the moment during a high pressure environment they’ve trained so hard for - as well as the pain and discomfort post-surgery) I hope there were some serious repercussions. It would be a really interesting episode or section to do following-up on some of these kind of incidents, so we have some facts about who did what, the charges, and any statements made to the Press after the fact etc - like the Woman who was holding that “Allez” sign that smacked Tony Martin in the face and decimated the Peloton (and I believe a couple of Riders TDF ended there and one - who’s name escapes me right now - basically retired because of it) I’d love to see a serious deep-dive into this topic at some point if possible - I just can’t for the life of me understand why the UCi is all about rules, consistency and safety measures, yet are so inconsistent with handling incidents like that which surely demands perpetrators be made examples of (like paying a Riders Medical Bill for one!) Final point *(I know, I’m far too verbose for my own good!)* kudos to the way the Tour of Britain was handled though - it was refreshing to see [pretty much] every traffic island and possible hazard either clearly defined or physically signalled by Moto-Riders upon the approach of the Peloton. It just proved that with some actual forethought and proper organisation, it can be done. Rider safety should always be absolutely paramount. No more careers and lives cut short and families like deprived of their loved ones like Andre Drege or Gino Mäder these past few seasons. A cherished friend races for Ineos and as much as I do adore this Sport, I know so much more could be done to limit injury and prevent any further deaths. (Apologies for the long-ass*d reply - if you made it this far, thank you - and have a cookie!) 😋

Trust me will get better.

Thank you.

wout ... after that nasty crash

Returned? You think they went away?

Or drug testing will. You know, the kind they are exposed to All. The. Bloody. Time? Sure, they're all drugged. Sure.

Just you, I have 2160p

It should be processed to 4k now! We’re editing and uploading super quick so it takes a little while for RU-vid to process it

@@emilychilds8085 Working now, thanks Emily! And thanks for doing this tour series!

I reckon it's worth at least a £fiver... much more than 360p at least 😜

long videos sometimes have that problem. Should be 1080 after a few minutes
