https://twitter.com/Cyclingnewsfeed/status/1177926227983765504 The UCI released the footage that got him DQ'd. Pretty obvious when you see this really.

serious gaylord posted:Germany have decided that they cant trust the lass up the road so they're bringing the peloton back now. I think Germany have been chasing since the split, though. And the gap between van Vleuten and the peloton doesn't really shrink all that much anymore, it's more like the chasing group is dropping back. I think Germany told Koppenburg to not take any turns anymore, which together with van der Breggen and Longo Borghini effectively reduces the group to 5 riders I think. It'd be nice to see the front of the peloton more often and also to get non-UCI time gaps

The peloton just doesn't seem to be doing anything despite trying. It's not a flat course, but you'd think they should still be able to chew through seconds on this terrain if they're working.

I dont think they have the strength, which is absurd given that the chase group has been out on their own for 50km all working, never mind Van Vluten. Wheres Belgium, wheres France? Canada? Is this like the 2012 road race where they refuse to even try because its highly likely that they wont win?

I think Deignan and Borgini might sit up when the peloton gets a bit closer because they're clearly not going to chase Van Vluten down with the two of them and the others dont want to do anything. Nevermind, the peloton have given up too.

gently caress it, Van Vluten deserves this because of the absolute gently caress up that has been the chase. They have no idea what to do without radios.

Weird race this, Van Vleuten's gonna stay away because competitive cyclists are congenitally incapable of not loving around

Not a single person in that chase group could chase down Van Vluten on their own so they should get their teams on the front and swamp everything up and trust a sprint at the end.

The peloton does not shut down a 4 minute gap on this course now. I think Van Vluten has this.

gently caress it why the gently caress not. Go for a single person chase for 36km the rest of the riders here are utter shithouse.

Tbh I'm choosing to interpret the removal of the peloton time gap to mean that the organizers told everyone in there to gently caress off back home
