'Too much' - Tao Geoghegan Hart hits out at Tour of the Alps stage design as Felix Gall crashes

Tao Geoghegan Hart hit out at the design of the stage on Tuesday at the Tour of the Alps after taking the win but seeing Felix Gall crash out. The British Ineos rider claimed his second stage win of the season, powering through in a sprint finish over the last few hundred metres, and retaining his spot at the top of the general classification.

Ad Despite a good day at the office, Geoghegan Hart was seen banging his handlebars and after the race he explained his frustration, given AG2R Citroen’s Gall had crashed, and Hart believed that the situation could have been much worse in wet conditions.

He explained: “If the winner of the race pedals maybe 80 metres in the last 300, I’m not sure that’s typical for a bike race to be honest. “For me it wasn’t really the correct last 300 metres.

I didn’t really want to say that to be honest, but at the end of the day there’s also not many people that are prepared to put their head out there… To see Felix Gall crash there in that corner just to try and make a normal sprint was a bit on the limit.” 'It means everything' — Vingegaard extends Jumbo-Visma stay 'All the chaos!' — Geoghegan Hart makes it two from two as Gall crashes in final 'An emotional moment' — Vos reveals what it meant to wear yellow at Tour de France Femmes “I really like this race, I really like the organiser but I wasn’t really a fan of that final.
