The cobbles specialists should sit up and let the sprinters and Steppers do the work.

All the fastest guys are up front except Degenkolb and Kristoff who neither seem 100%.
Nah, it's easier to attack from that group when the wind shifts direction than from a big bunch.
They are still waste a lot of energy. And Viviani isn't taking any turns anymore.

It's stupid tactics by GVA and Sagan.

I don't get you - so you think they should let it all come back together for a huge bunch sprint? It's not like the sprinters in the front group would pull hard to stay away even if Sagan, VAM refused to work.

It's over for the chasers. It's all about the leading group now. Better start thinking about how you can beat Demare and Viviani.

Agreed. Sagan and GVA will probably think they have chances in a group sprint as well, after a hardish race. And they may well be right.
