Yes he was the fastest. But do you think Vingegaard and Ayuso came slow? At uphill finishes you have limited space always but everyone know this there was no problems like this in the past. At the TTT yes the organizers was incompetent but now i dont think they are because one rider rushed into others. He had at least 50 meters to stop@@SP-vd9wh
@@Dani-yy8kxwell even though Evenepoel did a big celebration (though deserved) it is fully normal to celebrate hands free after the line. Plus he won the sprint so was probably fastest over the line.

Everyone seems to miss the obvious easy solution: put the finish line 25 m earlier so they actually end on the peak and not 25 m into a descent after a sprint.
@@peteMickeal33 Ride up that mountain climb at max effort then go full gas at the end in a sprint. The riders are cross-eyed at the finish. There needed to be more room for the riders. Even in the TTT they had half the road blocked off right after the finish with photographers.
@@peteMickeal33maybe it was a stupid game of chicken and maybe it wasn’t. I agree with the other replies that dude was just gassed and maybe hoped he was surrounded by people with fucking brains that would move if need be.
Exactly, maybe they could have put up barriers that gradually veered to the right instead of using a 90 degree angle which assumes the riders knew where to go.

I'll apply as safety officer for La Vuelta or UCI. Seriously, how hard can it be to spot that a TTT in the dark and 20m downhill run off is a bad idea?
An observation, it is true that you can brake in such a short space, but the difference is that he is the winner, it is he who has to celebrate, it has always been like that in cycling, the other riders do not let go of the handlebars, They don't pose for the photo, they don't waste braking time. Only Remco loses what is necessary to over-braking, more space is needed at the finish line to be fair.
Wow thanks for posting this overhead view of the finish Patrick. I believe after everything we’ve seen this far that the Vuelta organizers are completely disorganized and incompetent. Great victory today. Hope Remco will be ok.
Best Grand Tour recap, as always. Thank you! I am no expert, but I got the feeling that Kuss could have won the stage today, easily. He his the best domestique around, hands down.
at the lower end (left for Remco), there weren't barriers, but there were a lot of people in the way. So next question: why did the barriers stand there so close to the finish? Answer: organisers thought the winner would cross the line at half the speed of Remco.
I thought the same - or actually, that he might have gone over the barriers (OTB? ;)) and into the boxes that were standing there for no good reason. Could have moved all the stuff to the side and extend the finish area by 20 meters before turning right.
Remco just raced for over 4 hours, >6.1w/kg for nearly 20min with a sprint, HR was probably nearly 200bpm, and Freds say "derrrr... he should have slammed on the brakes immediately clearly his fault"
@@hughjanus7354the others for one almost crashed into each other as well, weren’t going as fast as Evenepoel, and weren’t celebrating a win. They were able to start braking as they crossed the line, Evenepoel wasn’t due to celebrating. There was also a descent making it harder to brake otherwise can crash due to braking too hard.
@@hughjanus7354 Yeah lets bann celebrating a win! Or better.. brake before the line, just to make sure everybody is at 0kph just over the line. Idiots like you should not have acces to internet.
The issue isn't really with the vision of the right turn I believe, the issue is the crowding of the media team causing confusion on where to go. Set barriers where the media guys can't pass and a small tent for the official small team of camera crew/ broadcasting team would have been ideal.
"let's finish on a downhill parking lot with limited space and have the finish line not before, but on the downhill part so the rides sprinting vor victory will pick up more speed and will have even less space" - "great idea!"
Props to Martinez tho. Always in the group w Roglic and Remco and Vlasov and never dropped (unlike Almeida per example). Really good performance and 3rd GC now
Remco for patron! I totally share his frustration and as a fan am also getting really annoyed at the organisers for blunder after blunder. Is this the tour of spain or the tour of incompetence??!
"supposed to go right" lol there's nothing there to indicate it's a corner. a 180 degree turn 50m past the line. Were they supposed to haul their crystal balls along for the stage to see this coming?
he is supposed to stop. That is indicated by the fact that if he doesn't, he is clearly running into a group of several people. The tool for that are called brakes. A kid can understand it.
@@peteMickeal33 the UCI rules state that the organiser has to provide a safe finish zone, in order to allow riders to coast / brake and in order to allow riders to move so riders behind aren't blocked by riders that just finished. This finish was 'designed' too short, with a very sharp right turn that nobody took, and with soigneurs all in the wrong place. If they wanted the riders to go left, they should have moved all of the soigneurs after that sharp hairpin right, so riders had more space and saw where to go.
@@l.d.t.6327 sure thing... the fact though is that he is clearly heading towards a group of people, he has plenty of time to break when he sees them and still he purposely runs into them, most likely in hopes of creating this scene.
When he crossed the line it was obvious they were too many people there. In the official photographs zone after the line...there are people taking vertical videos with their mobiles .
Remco! Dude is a beast - but does he have a strong team to match TJV in the high mountains? Not sure he can match Jonas in the crazy long mountain top finishes, but he will pick up atleast 4 stage wins.
If Roglic manages to stay in race they'll double team him in the third week for sure. With the current QS team and competition for GC I think podium is a more realistic goal.
@@gustavnyby8594 Remco actually used to be known for having a really bad sprint. But not anymore. His endurance watts are good, otherwise you don't become TT world champion, but how his watts/kg stack up against Jonas I'm really curious about.
@@Tibovl tbf i think remco has a very nice speed. I really cant see how remco can keep up with jonas on larger and harder climbs! and not in in the third week
@@gustavnyby8594 I somewhat agree, but as I said his watts must be good for someone his size. We've never seen a healthy week 3 Remco either so that makes the comparison just guessing. If I had to choose between fresh Jonas and Remco I'd also choose Jonas. But Jonas isn't fresh, he just did the tour. So I really don't know at this point.
If Remco hadn't crashed into the swannie, he would have crashed into the metal barrier 4metres passed the soigneur. She was standing at the end of the run off. Everyone else braked but Remco 😧
Imagine journalists being positioned on the track 100 meters after the finish line at a F1 grand prix ... everyone would see the safety issue, but in cycling, always something bad has to happen first before anyone sees an obvious issue. Put them behind barriers for their own and the cyclists' safety...
@@tweed0929 well that only happened once, in pro tour cycling behind the finish line there’s a ton of media people blocking half the road. and when there’s a huge super fast sprint finish it just seems really dangerous
video clearly shows the situation, going downhill, lots of people, extremely sharp and narrow hairpin turn, yet people in the comments pretend no other rider takes their hands off the bike if they win and that there was no issue with the finish area layout clown world
Remco simply went between the 2 marshals with green vests on, furthest apart, where there was a gap, where he thought the marshals were directing him to go, there were marshals blocking all the left, and the right (which was the blunder here) where the marshals were supposed to funnel him.
The fact the barriers were there was maybe as worse as people standing there, and indicates that the organiser did a very poor job with regards to underestimating the speed of the finish.
Almost “lucky” that he crashed into a person instead of a metal barricade. Doubt he would have seen the barricades and been able to brake or avoid the fencing with the line of people in the way. Hope all the bad luck and mishaps are front loaded in this race and we won’t see more of it.
I am interested in the power levels of these guys, but if Jonas is somewhere near his TDF form, I believe Roglic will not be able to follow him, and Remco is no mountain goat. I think Jonas will win his second GC this year and roglic will be his domestique.
Roglic still hurting after Molano took him out, level was a decent bit lower than Pog and Jonas at the tour. Jonas did say he felt like shit all day here.
I would be blocking the right turn, make rider go straight to barrier then right term loop around the back then onto the original route. This is just crazy.
On other media, there were complaints about Remco not braking and even insults to the woman (or crowd in general) but after watching this: What are organizers expecting? That's really not much runoff and this could have even led to some minor crashes if just a large group comes in and there is a pileup at the gate or one rider doesn't notice where to go while others do. The stewards are doing a fine job blocking off the crowd but somebody should have waved them in the right direction like on any given roundabout during the stage.
I assign blame in the following order: 1. Race organizers and police for not keeping the crowd under control at the finish and properly indicating which way riders should go. 2. The soigneur who is not looking up the road when she gets hit. 3. Remco for not hitting the brakes harder - it looks like he just assumes they will move out of his way. Basically everyone is to blame for this incredibly avoidable accident - but the organizers take the lion's share because if you don't take crowd control seriously, then things like this are bound to happen eventually. Even the amateur races I have done have way better crowd control at the finish including multiple people directing riders if they need to make a turn after the finish.
The girl he hit was 5 feet away from the barricade he also hit. Even if she wasn’t there he would have hit the barricade. He was punch drunk from the effort and not thinking clearly in my opinion
@@joshuakazfields4374 if the crowd wasn't there he would have seen the barriers and stopped earlier. Why would you put such barriers so close after a DOWNHILL finish anyway? Riders needed more time to stop especially after a SPRINT finish. 3 days of pathetic organization, hoping it does not continue tomorrow.
They must have thought roglic was going to win with his usual, "stop the clock" celebration. Ridiculous to expect him to stop in time. The main bunch barely stopped in time and they could see what had happened to remco.
Terrific planning by the Vuelta staff. Put in a sudden blind right turn on a downhill just after the finish line, with no flaggers. Brilliant. How do these knuckleheads get the rights to even run the event?
I mean, come on, he could have slowed down. These guys have the best hydraulic disc brakes. You can see the others braking behind him. Why TF was he blasting into the crowd going 15-17mph? I cruise at 18-20mph and i can stop QUICK AF on a set of SRAM Single pot hydraulics on a Titanium buke thats heavier. Im also 230lbs, these dudes are 160. It just seems so strange he seemed to not slow down.
Kuss was the strongest rider today but if Remco stays upright he should win this years Vuelta. I wish Pog was here to challenge him for the sprint victory today
Things happen. But you have to learn from your mistakes. This isn't the first time there's been bad crashes in the finish area. There needs to be a change in who's allowed in there.
Organizers thought this was a Roglic stage. Only planned celebration distance was to stop the wahoo.
Good one
LMAO
Hilarious
Please, I want to get the joke.

That's really not much runoff and this could have even led to some minor crashes if just a large group comes in and there is a pileup at the gate or one rider doesn't notice where to go while others do. The stewards are doing a fine job blocking off the crowd but somebody should have waved them in the right direction like on any given roundabout during the stage.
I assign blame in the following order: 1. Race organizers and police for not keeping the crowd under control at the finish and properly indicating which way riders should go. 2. The soigneur who is not looking up the road when she gets hit. 3. Remco for not hitting the brakes harder - it looks like he just assumes they will move out of his way. Basically everyone is to blame for this incredibly avoidable accident - but the organizers take the lion's share because if you don't take crowd control seriously, then things like this are bound to happen eventually. Even the amateur races I have done have way better crowd control at the finish including multiple people directing riders if they need to make a turn after the finish.
Spanish cycling and football organisations showing their best side this week.
Nice big arrow pointing right on a signboard above the head height of the photographers would have helped \m/
A bloodied Remco looks better than me on my wedding day.
LMAO the tour "organizers" are completely inept.
In an ideal world, you and Benji would let Remco and Pogi host an episode of the LRCP. That would be awesome. 😂
Drama after drama, these organizers are bloody incompetent
The clue here is that no one else came close to crashing. And they were sprinting for bonus seconds.
Now every team will have to scout the course set up a little bit further than the finish line.
Great analysis! Too crowded at the end.
The girl he hit was 5 feet away from the barricade he also hit. Even if she wasn’t there he would have hit the barricade. He was punch drunk from the effort and not thinking clearly in my opinion
@@joshuakazfields4374 if the crowd wasn't there he would have seen the barriers and stopped earlier. Why would you put such barriers so close after a DOWNHILL finish anyway? Riders needed more time to stop especially after a SPRINT finish. 3 days of pathetic organization, hoping it does not continue tomorrow.
They must have thought roglic was going to win with his usual, "stop the clock" celebration.
Ridiculous to expect him to stop in time. The main bunch barely stopped in time and they could see what had happened to remco.
magical-magical-magical-place
The finish area on the right should have been protected by barriers.
Terrific planning by the Vuelta staff. Put in a sudden blind right turn on a downhill just after the finish line, with no flaggers. Brilliant. How do these knuckleheads get the rights to even run the event?
I mean, come on, he could have slowed down. These guys have the best hydraulic disc brakes. You can see the others braking behind him.
Why TF was he blasting into the crowd going 15-17mph? I cruise at 18-20mph and i can stop QUICK AF on a set of SRAM Single pot hydraulics on a Titanium buke thats heavier. Im also 230lbs, these dudes are 160. It just seems so strange he seemed to not slow down.
Vuelta a Espana -->> Vault of Pains
Kuss was the strongest rider today but if Remco stays upright he should win this years Vuelta. I wish Pog was here to challenge him for the sprint victory today
Things happen. But you have to learn from your mistakes. This isn't the first time there's been bad crashes in the finish area. There needs to be a change in who's allowed in there.
Did anyone hear Christian Vande Velde mention Lanterne Rouge on NBC about a Remco interview?
Same comment as the first two days, this is why the Tour de France is the biggest race of them all.
You know the final stage of TDF also ends late in the evening? If it rains, they'll be sprinting in the dark as well...
Like the Tour de France had a perfect organization... they did equally worse, especially in the mountain stages. And this race is also organized by...
Really? Maybe you didn't watch this year's Tour with all of their blunders. Vehicle blockage, etc.. Gosh people have fish memory
“It’s a bit breaking my balls now” spoken only how remco would say it
Very decent effort on the pronounciation of Rrrrresink
