Except Coquard made up like a 5m gap on Kittel.Vroome.exe said:Hahaha Kittel silenced you all. He was by far the strongest one, the first to start his sprint and the only one not to fade.

I would guess Greipel and Cavendish went pretty deep in that close head-to-head yesterdaysir fly said:No idea. I thought he had a plan missing the intermediate.Lexman said:sir fly said:Cavendish faded unexpected.

Yet people will complain how Kittel is worse than either on hilly stuff. Some prejudices will never go away.

He was until last year, to be fair. And to me it just seems like Kittel is able to use his raw power to do well on these kind of finishes. Put a sequence of slightly inclined ramps throughout the stage and I think Cavendish and Greipel will do better than Marcel. My that's just über-prejudiced me talking.
