Re:

Really?

It's been all of 24 hours since he last won and since the start of last season I believe he's had seven 1st placings and three 2nd placings. Not quite Rojas.

Re:

Now he is finally waiting.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gougeard cool headed winner

 

[Velolover2]

Very very well-deserved. Gaudin was riding in front the most of the time.

Edit: Oh, it was Gougeard.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Only 14 second gap at the finish

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Strongest man by far wins.
Good stuff.

Just re-watched finish of stage 2 and if I can see correctly, Ahlstrand and Giraud cut last corner before the barriers through grass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EG9ddwrs60 0:55). Is that even allowed? It was not like they had to avoid anything, just took it as a shortcut. If in line with rules, then it was very clever from them and basically Ahlstrand won thanks to that move.

 

[manafana]

Coquard and Theuns are going be great over years, decent race as always this one.

Nothing wrong with that. They simply used the road and there were no barriers or whatever to indicate they weren't allowed to.

Just saw the final kms of stage 3. Very exciting finish. Antomarchi had everything under control but then messed it up a bit in the final 500m.
