Rune Herregodts was in the break all day and looked to take the win! Christophe Laporte had other ideas though as he passed him agonisingly close before the line!

Biniam Girmay would have beaten C. Laporte.
Sometimes a gap between two posts can look big enough but be centimetres too small when going 27mph and make you eat the ground , leaving you with huge road rash on the face and shoulder and a hole in your chin ( deffo didn't happen to me)
Commentator has no idea how to judge distance. That was way longer than he said.
I guess he run out of gas riding solo. Didn't even make it into top 3. So sad.
Team Jumbo Visma ❤. What a superb sprint. That was a worthy attack on lead.
Why breakaways are silly unless your name is vingegaard, pogacar, or van aert
Never look back, that is why
That was disgraceful!!
A bunch of non-cyclists saying he shouldn't have looked back. Don't talk if you don't understand the situation.
Nothing to so?
AND THAT WAS GREAT CYCLING 🚴♂️🫵🏻😎
wheelsucking sprinters = gutless 🙂
Didn't have the training in his legs. Unlucky
So CRUEL, hehe…
i think his energy had given enough.. no more energy left before the few meters to finish line
Blew his wad too early 😂
If you’re gonna look back, you better know you need to be the strongest breakaway rider there ever was lol . I know I couldn’t keep a field away.
That's the chance you take. Going out on your own
At least he got 3rd
No looking back and go 110% ++ 💥🔥🔥
Don't look back, lG Fleder.
Dommage la dose de produit n'était suffisante j'espère que l'entraîneur a été viré
Best sprinter i should say.
Little mistakes can cause heartbreak.
DUDE stand up and peddle
I love bicycle racing😅😂
It can be so so cruel. But I love it anyway.
( he just wasn't as juiced as the others)😂😂😂
Watched this so many times, repeat, each time hoping he ll improve lol😅😂 🤣
Laporte closed it…
Almost like he lost concentration
Ha: He would have won the stage had he not kept looking back every 5 seconds. Stupid. Had he just kept his eyes forward and gone flat out, he would have won.
I can smell his fear when he looks back.. that's what consume him.
I thought he was going to slip on a white line
What a stupid sport for wieners
Go EV.
Never look back
Bro just needed to shift down…
ikrdabl waw
why????
When he started looking back, he had already lost.
I've had this happen to me a few times. Granted I'm also not a world tour rider.
Do not loook back !!!!!!!!!!!!
Did he even place?
Não levantou da bike nunca😅
He was swept away by a tsunami of riders.
I would be sooo mad🤬
He wanted it more.
its the last 1% you do, which is most important.
but asgreen showed it can be done
If only he was not back
