Haha Sagan is insane, hes gonna surpass Gilbert 2011.

 

[theyoungest]

Froomey dropped out of the top-10 overall, not sure by how much though.

 

[JimPanzen]

not too surprising. looks like Contador had a go where Velits did last year and got nabbed close home ?

Sagan, impressive again. Surprised Meersman isn't in that group of 10 even.

Ahh ok, so maybe he got caught. It's just an uncommon mix in the Top10.

Cycling is so predictable nowadays...

Sagan is just at another level.

On that picture it looks like Gallopin passed Alberto in the last few meters

 

[Publicus]

You have to love what Sagan does on a bike. Chapeau!

 

[HiCadence]

If they ever made a bronze statue of Sagan that pose would be perfect.

I give him credit for even being in the mix on a finish like this (he's a great cyclist but his sprinting isn't great (i know, mild understatement)).

It's a hard finish, the GC contenders should be up there. I think by now he has shown he's the overwhelming favourite for the overall.

"WTF are you guy's trying to achieve witht that"

 

[maltiv]

Looks like Froome lost time then.

what happened to Froome?

 

[Der Effe]

Hahahaha Sagan. You already know what to expect from that guy but for some reason it never gets boring. Total legend.

Exactly what I tried to say.

 

[Red Rick]

Contador high as f*ck, sprinting and stuff

 

[wheelie1977]

doesn't look like he attacked, maybe just followed wheels

i'm curios if sagan will even try tomorrow. I'd like to see what he's capable of, but he will probably softpedal the green mountain. However, I guess, he could make it under a minute if he wanted. If so, than it could get interesting for the fifth and sixth stage. Considering all the bonus seconds, there could be some pretty racing from the start.

 

[jens_attacks]

ahhaaha sagan toying with them. love his victory salute

also grande alberto!!!

i wonder what happened with froomey

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sagan for the win tomorrow!

[Arnout]

Seems to be a really good race with exciting stages and a good route. Pity it isn't televized.
