2013 Tour de France, Stage 3: Ajaccio - Calvi 146 Km

Gerrans takes it. So close for Sagan. At least he got some green jersey points.

He's in yellow!

 

[gthx_gthx_]

Gerrans beats Sagan , that's a surprise. Sagan is not at 100% I guess.

Not necessarily, he's climbing better.

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

Congratulation to Rojas on his first ever top 3 placing after 97 4th placed finishes in the past.

 

[willbick]

Sagan completely mistimed the bike throw. He stopped pedalling a few metres too early and that may have cost him the win

ohh,bad sprint by Sagan..
he has a lot better climbing but his sprints looks worse,we'll see if this pays off in green jersey battle

 

[Pulpstar]

I assume Sagan must have Green by now though ?

 

[Afrank]

Kwiatkowski up there again.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Guys don't forget Sagan fell pretty hard on the 1st day. That has to impact his capabilities somewhat.

 

[willbick]

Congrats to bakelants keeping yellow

 

[Kender]

I assume Sagan must have Green by now though ?

He was 4 points behind at the start of the day so yes

 

[goggalor]

Brilliant sprint by Gerrans. OGE killed that finish. Notice Gerro leaving a gap to Impey before jumping, very clever racer.

 

[Pentacycle]

These kind of stages are definitely Ogres' territory.

 

[ILovecycling]

Sagan completely mistimed the bike throw. He stopped pedalling a few metres too early and that may have cost him the win

This.
Still it was a bad sprint by him

 

[willbick]

Guys don't forget Sagan fell pretty hard on the 1st day. That has to impact his capabilities somewhat.

Im pretty sure he's fine. Like i said, he shudda won that sprint but fcked up at the end with the bike throw

 

[pastronef]

whoah!
great win by GERROOOO!!!!
amazing work by Impey!

 

[Afrank]

Congrats to bakelants keeping yellow

Cool, glad he kept it.

 

[Sophistic82]

Radioshack certainly doesnt believe in the Andy Schleck resurrection.

 

[leftover pie]

bravo gerrans! stoked

 

[l.Harm]

Tony Martin finished in the first group!

 

[One Man Grupetto]

Julien Simon up to second. How Sojasun must be wishing that the TTT was another few days away...

 

[pastronef]

Radioshack certainly doesnt believe in the Andy Schleck resurrection.

sure, they want to win the tour with Bakelants
when you have yellow, you fight to keep it

 

[manafana]

another great stage with good breaks going up road and then orica setting up gerrans who put in a great sprint

 

[willbick]

Much needed big result for greenedge. They'll be very relieved to see that photo finish!
