YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I scared every dog in the neighborhood with my scream. I am so happy with this top 4.

 

[sir fly]

Looked like it was never in doubt who's going to win.
Congrats to Valverde. Deserved prize.

Re:

Played it perfectly. Going to be great to see him in the stripes

Vmt, the perfect rider to wear the jersey.

Tactically perfect in the last 10km as well. Realised Dumoulin was no threat and not to bury himself, but also to keep the pace high enough not to give any chance for Alaphilippe or anyone else back on. And a stunning sprint.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Best sprint of Bardet's career there surely.

 

[Velolover2]

Woods at least tried to attack a couple of times in the final. Bardet didn't.

 

[42x16ss]

Wow, so disappointed that Woods and Bardet didn't try anything. Got what they deserved.

Well done Valverde. Held his nerve well and finished the job.

 

[hfer07]

haters gonna hate :lol:

 

[GuyIncognito]

Somewhere, Sean Kelly and Laurent Jalabert are watching and thinking this is partly for them

 

[Leinster]

Quintana giving Bala a big hug and a smile after the line.

I agree.

 

[KyoGrey]

[Stella0596]

Dumo's should've continued his attack..

Might have been in doubt if Bardet hadn't dropped Alaphilippe. Or at least tried something before the sprint.

Tactical fail by France.

 

[Forever The Best]

And the most stunning thing was that Valverde played it really well.

 

[Singer01]

yuck.

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Never have I seen such mixed feelings on this forum

 

[DNP-Old]

Holy ***, this is amazing.

 

[bassano]

stunning

'do nothing till sprint'

Obviously

Re:

Bardet and Woods also super ride today. Why didnt Dumolin attack. He lost it there I think when he backed down.

He tried twice but Valverde closed it down each time before he could get even a slight gap

 

[Matteo.]

really happy for Valverde. and once again Tom proved to be a hell of rider
