Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Did Froome truly get bonus seconds? Had the last survivor from the breakaway been caught already?

Yes and yes

They caught the last survivor like 100m before the intermediate sprint. The result was De La Fuente, Haussler, Froome.

Fairly serious Leopard train there.

De La Fuente went for the sprint, why didn't Cobo go as well? Fail Geox.

 

[hrotha]

Thanks, guys.

De La Fuente went for the sprint, why didn't Cobo go as well? Fail Geox.

Because De la Fuente is actually pretty fast.

maybe he's too slow?
why Haussler went?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Howard wins today!

 

[Ferminal]

Looks like only 80 or so left in the bunch, got split up through a few technical sections. Err nvm there's heaps

sometimes i think it's good that i'm watching in a language i don't understand

 

[spalco]

Hahaha, that was funny.

Cobo would beat de la Fuente in a sprint 100 out of 100 times, I think they thought de la Fuente going would put Froome off, and probably they didn't expect him to beat the likes of Sagan who didn't even try.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Haedo wins!
Petacchi
Bennati
Reynes

 

[luckyboy]

lol wtf was that? Corners kinda close to the finish.

 

[TeoSheva]

[Hugo Koblet]

[Ferminal]

Another farcical sprint, but well done for Haedo.

 

[thirteen]

[Mellow Velo]

A feckin farce.

[Ferminal]

My feed seemed to freeze up just as it happened, looked like a good save by Sagan?

Yup, Sporza commentators warned about that roundabout
