He's barely beating 3rd-tier sprinters, and with a train. Next stage.

No one can touch cavendish in a flat sprint.

By far the best, greipel and kittel need to get lucky.

And it wasn't even a real train like HTC had. Cannondale also had a train

OPQS leadout wasn't that good at all

Obvs, that won't happen until Tony's back, but at least they didn't try and desperately hold the front and end up with 2 men at 4km to go, which has been their main tactic so far this year.

Far better to wait when men in hand and hit it hard.

Please, read my comments again. Hint: 3rd tier. Greipel is the best sprinter today. Bar none!

3rd tier sprintesr..hmmh.

Who are 1st tier sprinters then? Besides Cav and Greipel? I think guys like Bouhanni are already in the top 10 sprinters in this world...

Where's greipel?

He's not as good as Cav. Ridiculous comment.

Surely Viviani is too? I can't think of 9 sprinters better than him.

Half the peloton is held up in the Tour: nobody waits.

Sky is held up in the Giro: everybody waits.

Where's the logic?

if Kittel is 1st tier then even Theo Bos is 1st tier lol.
Kittel is much better than Bos. Yes, in the hills they're similar ;)

Let's take the win away from him for not doing it by a larger margin. Shame on him for not beating people who aren't here.

The constant factor in this equasion is Robert Gesink.\

If Robert Gesink is behind > ride
If Robert Gesink is in front > do not ride.

It's clearly a conspiracy.

for all idiots here, i'm not serious. I do NOT mean this. Just to be clear
