Ireland’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dan Martin (UAE Team Emirates) has criticised the finale of stage 7 of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Vuelta a España, which featured a high number of mechanical incidents, cras🍌hes and punctures, as “just chaos".

The Irishman, who is 📖not fighting for the overall title, was wrongly described as suffe📖ring a mechanical on one of the more difficult descents at the finish.

In fact, he lost four and a half minutes after trying to shepherd home the team’s sprinter, Simജone Consonni.

"We’ve been riding on these beautiful roads all day and then the last 15 kilometres it’s just chaos," Mar🌜tin fumed.

"Obviously it’s good for television but it&ജrsquo;s not nice to ride on. I just hope that the guys who were affected by the crashes are ok and that the mechanicals didn’t affect the race t♚oo much."

Martin said that the final segment of climbing over a third category climb near the finish at Pozo Alcon, followed by a spectacular - b𒀰ut twisting and poorly surfaced - descent, had been the worst.

"It ꦏwould have been nice if they’𒈔d swept the road, you know?” he said. "It’s was a really, really bad road surface, the number of mechanicals and problems you saw, crashes…"

Martin himself later said th♛at he didn’t have any problems himself on the road, rather he was helping out team-mates when he had a reported mechanical.

"It was our sprinter, he went so deep to get over the climb there and we thought that was it, we thought it would be easy to the finish, especially with the headwinds, yeaꦇh, s✅o I waited for him and obviously all hell broke loose, there was that steep climb we didn’t know about."

As for his own cond💟iti꧑on, Martin said he was not in the best of shape yet.

"I’ve got heavy legs at the moment, I’m not fully ‘back’ from the Tour yet, so it’s hard work, and I’m trying to do a good job for Fabio [Aru] hopefully in a psycholo♕gical way as well as in the race.

"The team are riding really well here around Fabi🔜o, we’re a young team here and we’ve had a lot of diffe🔯rent programs.

"Hopefully we can continue like that, and it’ll be a bit easier on Saturday" - tౠheoretically a flat stage - "and we can have a go on Sunday."
