    People seem to be resorting to more extreme behavior though they were always highly biased. It used to be limited to throwing tacks on the ground in front of their enemey. I hear that perpetrator has been charged with attempted manslaughter as well he
    should.

    What Paris-Roubaix showed us that Pogacar can be beaten with teamwork. Not that there was any used here but you could visibly see Pagacar bnecome visibly exhausted trying to keep up withy Van Der Poul. Using proper team strategy he can be beaten simply
    by wearing him down. Though Padacar might simply allow other teams to carry him along and being fairly fresh still win stages in the Tour.

    Van Der Poul played the3 card he was dealt like a true professional. When Padacar couldn't get up from that minor fall it was clear that if Van Der Poul could hang on he had Podacar beat. You have to be pretty exhausted when you are trying to lift the
    bike you're standing on.

    Yup the commentary noticed and flagged this, saw it being highlighted by a
    few teams on the socials as well.

    Cycling is one of few sports one can get very close and easily so even at
    the highest level, I’ve watched Olympic races come past, and Tour de France and so on.

    Mathieu Van Der Pol had a water bottle thrown at him when he was solo
    off the front on a cobbled section. It looked like it may have hit him
    in the face.
