I know, but didn't Sagan take 2nd on another intermediate sprint? That should give him +2sec. Combined with the +6sec he got from 2nd on the stage, that makes it +5sec won today. He was +5sec behind before today's stageEagle said:He won an intermediate sprint, got bonus seconds thereCance > TheRest said:How come Dumoulin leads by 1sec?

He got one at the final intermediate as well, on screen it said Barguil but it was Dumolin.

I agree, he could have stayed in GVA's wheel for a bit longer. Maybe he was afraid that they would be overtaken and he would lose too much speed, I don't know.

Sagan can say it was just a tactical error that got him beat. In reality though Matthews won with so much to spare that it really didn''t make much difference
