[DominicDecoco]

[Dutchsmurf]

Wiggins, Great ride!

Completely useless tho.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Haha amazing finish! Nicely done, Sky.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

EBH ?

what a success that was

Basically Sky bringing Greipel the win

 

[The Joker]

Good finish by Greipel. Just pips Sagan.

What a leadout by Wiggins - Cav will love that at the Olympics

 

[Arnout]

Yeah Sanchez should just cross the line first and not be angry at whoever closes the gap, that's not his business. Looks like a spoiled brat.

Yup. Compare to earlier in the Tour.

Maybe Wiggins will ride for Boasson but not Cav. New pantomime ready to run there.

 

[Kopuliak]

crap Sagan started kick 1s to late ....

It was kinda hilarious.

 

[gorgos]

Team Sky and Wiggo paying back for all the work Edvald has done in the mountains. Nicely done, Sagan and Greipel had his wheel, and is just faster. Plain and simple.

 

[AtletiSK]

very close, Sagan threw the wheel too late...
anyway SKY killed any chances for EBH today after the mountain, they let Greipel get back, did Hagen deserved this after the incredible job done in the Alps? definately not

Looks like the bike-throw won it.
.

 

[PhiberAwptik]

Funny how people act like Sky is not allowed to try and win the stage. If it didn't work out for EBH then it didn't work out. But it's a goddamn race.

Sagan would still have beaten him anyway.

The will be terrified of Rabobank.
A few friends, too, with Greipel, Sagan, Hinault etc.

Wiggins just saying thanks to EBH for all his hard work.
What's the problem?
(EBH was always 3rd best of that 3 up)

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Yeah Sky made Rabo enemies..sure they will be afraid of the full force of 4 half-beaten to death men

They gave EBH a chance. All you can really ask for.

Bit of a pointless gesure given all the work in the mountain.

Last year Edvald beat Griepel more often that not. After all the riding he's done this year he never had a chance, so it was all a bit odd.

 

[The Sheep]

Yeah it was a bit of a cav reaction from Lulu

 

[Montanus]

EBH took a lot of wind for Wiggo and didn't have much left in the sprint. Not sure he would have much of a chance anyway.

Nicely done by Wiggo, he wanted to give EBH a chance to win.

EBH not a top sprinter anymore
he should ride for GC while in SKY, or just be a superb working horse for other SKY guys

 

[AtletiSK]

Sagan would still have beaten him anyway.

very possible, but it wouldve been like 65-35% battle and with the technical finish you never know what can happen... yet letting Greipel get back was as stupid if they ever cared for EBH as it can get

I think they waited, because they were not sure how far is Cavendish back, and when they realized that he is 1 minute hehind, then they started working.
