He'd have taken a stage win over an extra 10-15 points every single time. He just burnt himself out following all the attacks. Should have either bluffed and forced someone else to chase Impey (if no-one did he'd have finished 2nd/3rd from the group anyway), or gone on a hard attack himself. What he did was a bit ridiculous - burn himself out.trucido said:Hugo Koblet said:Great win by Matthews. Wheelsucking? Come on! I'm not sure OGE's tactics today were the best but it panned out at the end after all. Sagan spent way too much energy. I think he's becoming too self-confident. What was GVA doing?
That's not a great win, it would have been a big fail if he didn't with the rider advantage.
Sagan weighed up that the points for 2nd-3rd were worth more than an all or nothing approach for the stage.
He was pretty happy in his interview post-race, so I'd say mission accomplished for the day.
