That's the skill of these riders, similar to MotoGP. Instant reactions. There should have been a Marshall with a flag warning racers that the bollard was there, although they read a map every night B4 the next stage, they cannot be expected to remember every twist and turn. It's up to those behind to be more aware. Same today, silly clips of wheels at 30mph and away they go!
I do wonder if Pagacar was even aware of the chaos behind, but hey, that's professional racing. I am sure that should he know that he would have gone back to have a word .....
Another day done! Time Trial tomorrow
