Bye Bye Bicycle said:Every stage not won by Sagan is a good stage.
yes, but this time, just for this time, i'd preferred him to win. so no time gaps and Millar in yellow...
damn!
anyway, nice win for the Leopard guys
People that take unleashed dogs to bike races should be impounded with the dog. Unless the dog was a local and just wanted some air time like the fool that ran onto the run and dropped his hat.

De Gent seems to have health problem, I hope he will be okay, might need to change job I guess.
Great to see 'Jantje' Bakelants getting his win. The Sporza guys always mention how much bad luck he has, this will shut them up. And really, how much bad luck has he had anyway?
I liked Robofroome's attack, I hope his DSes won't advise him not to do this again (which they probably will). Mollema was surprisingly strong after his near-encounter with a lamp post yesterday.

Yes, but he can win Alpe d'Huez on a good day.

Velits can't climb. Except once, in the Vuelta.McLovin said:

He's not a climber anymore anyway
He could still fight for Top5, he is a decent sprinter. Certainly better than Kwiatkowski who finished 7th today.

Rolland only proved he can make the stupidest attack of a stage. ...and you are making light of Froome's go.

Kwiatek has very good sprint on him, better than Velits, as shown by his 3rd today

Stupid thing if that's the reason. He finished second in Vuelta and won Oman not long ago. At least he should had his chance.

His bad luck is that he's been overrated as a talent, and that he's always been expected to do well in stage races. He's at his best stage hunting like this, but it still doesn't make him a top rider.
PS: I'm not calling him and Kittel bad riders.(a few pages back) They're all very talented riders, but small differences mean a lot in big races. Of course I don't begrudge their respective victories, that would be sad by me.

Great stage, good to see someone go out and win the yellow jersey, would have devalued it to see Millar get it on countback when on the same time as 60 plus other riders.
Sagan's team does not look good enough to control stages, could be a real problem for him (it's already cost him one win today after all). Hard to see them getting much assistance on the Sagan friendly stages.

Oh, my bad. Velits has no climbing legs anymore, but he can still do well in the sprint. At least as a leadout for Kwiatek
