20km to go, the 4 leaders remain at 1.10. It's a windy run in.

 

[Boardslide]

Team Sky chasing now, it's touch & go for a bunch sprint

 

[Boardslide]

Break is caught inside 3k, Sky driving the peloton

 

[wirral]

Cavendish to gain revenge on filthy Kluge and filthy Kristoff.

[kanari]

Who will Cav blame on twitter..?

 

[wirral]

Wow, didn't see that coming after stage 1. He was nowhere near Greipel then.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

So Kittel beats Cav and Greipel?

 

[Machu Picchu]

Wow! can't wait to see this one!

Thanks for the updates Boardslide

 

[More Strides than Rides]

This Cav vs. Goss, vs. Greipel thing is shaping up is it?

Would this be the best field Kittel has beaten (so as not to say his best win)?

 

[Kvinto]

Great by Kittel, he was pretty good at the first stage's sprint but got into a little split and now he wins

 

[durhamwasp]

now to wait 1hr before getting the Top 10.

He was way behind. Seems like he had bad positioning back then

I didn't see that stage, but Koen de Kort tweeted that he took Kittel the long way around a corner at 500 m to go.

Best win?
Vuelta win bigger, but a nice win however.

 

[Gloin22]

Best win?
Vuelta win bigger, but a nice win however.

In Vuelta he had zero competition and was the best sprinter... here we have almost all the best sprinters in cycling, so I argue this win is biggest in his carrer so far. Vuleta might be more prestigious, but in terms of confidence, morale boost etc. this is by far the best one yet.
