This was not a brilliant stage but come on there was real racing, Nibali tried to gain time, Froome tried to gain time. Contador and especially Quintana survived only just survived to stay with the other two. Without Sagan perhaps they would not have made it back.
Some people are very harsh on the quality of racing.

Re:
I was thinking about when was the last time that virtually everybody was so pleased for a winner. Rare occurrence, for sure.

No one able to make a difference... Froome was impressive, he even dropped Nibali on the last pave I think.
Contador and Quintana was as expected.
A little disappointed that not even the PR riders could do anything.

Nobody wanted the stage???
Few riders were better sprinters than Tony Martin, so I am surprised that they let him go!!!

Re:
If contador did not have the strength he would not have been up in that group, this was successful day for contador today, he rode fine, besides isn't that Sagan's job? To look after Contador.hmpower said:

There will be some sprinter that will look back and say, "this was obvious, why didn't I/we plan for this."
Then again, maybe they wanted Tony to win!

I think if Boom and Grivko didn't have mechanical that it might be been possible for him to gain time.

I wonder by what margin Froome would win Le Tour if it was ridden on those interactive Turbo Trainers?
Why did Cav go for the 11 points in the intermediate sprint but have no interest in the 30 points for second at the end?

Re:
It's not like you can just decide to pull Tony Martin back in a situation like this.
