Things Vingegaard did before winning TDF:
Rode the wrong way in Tirreno

Confused about the blue jersey

Crashed into Vlasov in a uphill punch in Itzulia

Chopped Izagirre’s wheel in Itzulia

Panicked on stage 5 TDF and went “BikeExchnage” all over the place

He’s such a treasure

[Bethman-cp]

So nice that the first thing Elisa Borghini thought about, that she's glad she didn't hurt anyone!

Putting a speedbump 500m to go in a sprint stage at the Vuelta a Burgos causing a massive crash. Huge fail on the part of race organizers and rider safety in general

[chrisridesbicycles]

I missed Pog getting 4th in a sprint of 2

[bimblingalong]

surely Thomas forgetting to take his gilet off in the TdF time trial should have gotten a mention?

[sandervdvelde]

This season had some of the most dangerous finishes(last km) in cycling. Speed bumps, chicane, downhill, narrowing road, dangerous placed barriers, finishes in a corner. List goes on and on.

The fail title for wrong turns should only go to the organisers :)

[thomaspettitt]

that caja rural rider must’ve felt humiliated, crashing while celebrating a win they didn’t have

[crbondur]

I like these videos. It reminds us that pro cyclists are still human beings. Thanks!

[kelvintejada]

Another one is on La vuelta, when Primoz Roglic crashed on a sprint battle when Remco is having puncture.

[mstrasser]

don't think skidding out on a sharp left turn in the wet is a fail but all the rest were bang on

[tasty_fish]

What about half the peloton being sent the wrong way at the finish in the Tour of Britain in Mansfield?

[samvilla]

What about the time during the tour when the two cars stopped at the same time and the riders crashed into them in the same exact way?

[ptkewl]

I can't explain why I find the wrong turns so amusing

[elirome]

Wouldnt even consider Philipsen and Bettiol failing. Much better than thinking someone finished already and not going for the sprint. If you always go for it you are on the safe side :D

2:26 The guy's saddle falls off as he crosses the line - what a weird incident! Must've been the device kicking in! 😆

[GianCRO]

WVA is the funniest one in green jersey about to raise his arms 😂

[bitchoflivingblah]

Has to be AMSTEL GOLD with the poor Bernard Cosnefroy being told he was the winner and celebrating, Michał Kwiatkowski commiserating (although his celebration and commiseration face are pretty much one and the same), then the decision reversed after the photo finish judges showed Michał Kwiatkowski actually won.

A cracking race, these last few editions have never failed to deliver epic races. Great commentating by Rob Hatch as well.

I miss the brutal crash in the womans TdF when Australian champion rolls without braking into a pile of riders after a crash before, "seeing a gap". I know, not very nice to see but I ve never seen anything like this before and definitely a fail
