36 when he won Team Sprint and Keirin in London.

yeah I've seen it a couple of times now, it's like a bad football takcle, the more you look at it (particularly in slow motion) the worse it looks. Don't think its egregious enough for the commissaires to stick their necks out.

I doubt there'll be any problems with that finish.

Have to agree, that was just racing.

Cav?!

lols, maybe an honorary one!

I'm giving Pog benefit of the doubt for now and going with 'generational talent'. Does look remarkably strong and composed, long way to go though and it just takes one bad day to bring him back to the realm of mortals.

But last few trips running at an indicated 80mph = I am defo one of the slower ones out there. Kinda puzzling given the extra traffic police presence.

I drive London to various places on the South Coast early on Saturday/Sunday mornings quite regularly and the average speeds are unreal. I've lost count of the times I've been overtaken by someone doing what seems like 120mph+, definitely a much more regular occurrence since the first lockdown.

That'd be Group B rallying where the cars had become insanely, almost uncontrollably fast.

Thought about this, too many lines crossed...

Wout van Aert (Bel) Jumbo-Visma 0:32:30
Mathieu van der Poel (Ned) Alpecin-Fenix 0:32:31
Anything you can do....

This has to be pretty crushing for WvA, ouch.

Shades of Rog on La Planche last year that helmet!

absolute monster.

Can't see it, no way... happy to eat my words though!

Surely MVDP can't hang on to yellow, can he?!

Pog 18 seconds quicker than Kung, unreal!

Expected more from Julian.

Not bad for allegedly not having a TT bike at home to train on, never been in a wind tunnel...

Back to the TT, Pog looking mighty strong!

I don't believe there's been an instance of a pro cyclist suing a spectator for something that happened during a race; you'll open Pandora's box. Opi-Omi was particularly egregious and Soler's injuries and lost income/opportunities are significant, but it isn't the first time and won't be the last time a spectator causes a crash.
Education and better race organisation, not litigation.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be consequences, but you could sue the arse off that lady and it won't stop idiots causing totally avoidable crashes. I don't know what the right course of action/consequences here should be.
And yes, I do remember the case you mentioned, bullshit decision that we won't get into but also took place on a public road between two members of the public, can't compare.

Ta, got it mixed up. It was Froome that went down in the second.

Soler has already hinted he could look to sue the spectator.

I thought Soler's injuries were sustained during the second crash, not Opi-Omi? Or have I got that completely wrong?

Riders suing spectators does not set a good precedent but if Soler did end up breaking both his arms because of Opi-Omi then you can see where Soler is coming from.

PM'd re X4 stem.

Barring a crash taking him out he'll get there by hook or by crook I reckon.
