2015 Tour De France Stage 4: Seraing - Cambrai, 223.5 km

Page 41 - Get up to date with the latest news, scores & standings from the Cycling News Community.
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.

This is probably the forum's happiest moment after Levi Leipheimer won Suisse.

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.

Feel sorry for Sagan having do all of chasing work
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.

No time gained for Nibali on this stage is a disaster.

Second stage was a disaster. Without rain this was expected. No rain, no gain.

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

Nobody wanted the stage???

Few riders were better sprinters than Tony Martin, so I am surprised that they let him go!!!

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