Super finish! Bravo Almeida.

 

[yaco]

A super ride by Almeida - It's rare that Ullisi loses a race when he is in that position with 400 metres to go with that stage profile.

 

[groogster]

It made my day! Wonderfull stage and win for Almeida with a blast!! Great, great young rider!

 

[BlueRoads]

Is this Almeida's first proper pro win, apart from the national tt?

 

[HelloDolly]

I wish Almeida. wasnt going to UAE


Like to se e him lead at the Tour

 

[IndianCyclist]

That was probably the longest sprint ever

 

[Froome]

Is this Almeida's first proper pro win, apart from the national tt?

Yes.

 

[Froome]

Almeida attacked to soon, but he can push so many watts(and that's why matxin buy him, he's not stupid, he's got a tremendous potential with just 23 years) and he fights so much....so he won.

Had to spend a lot to close the gap. Didnt have enough time to recover most likely.

Yes it is… finally !!

 

[groogster]

It’s a shame that this tour doesn’t have live coverage in Europe because it has very nice stages. It has been exceeding my expectations untill now

 

[Stringer Bell]

I think Ulissi was undone by Mahoric closing, he started his sprint probably a bit earlier than he wanted to. But that was superb by JA, gutsy af

 

[Panda Claws]

Sure Almeida can grab a win in a weak field like Tour de Pologne. That doesn't count.

If it's WT it counts... every thing we do through life counts

It's his first pro win apart from the national tt even if you count the improper ones.

What would be an improper win in this case?

 

[Mayomaniac]

What would be an improper win in this case?

Probably the wins in 2.2 races with Unieuro back when he was a first year u23 rider.

Probably. I just wasn't sure if he didn't count them, because he wasn't a pro at the time or if he just didn't knew he had them.

Shades of Purito vs Rabottini in 2012.

You don't think that was a gift from Purito? Incredibly well-hidden, but still?

Are you sure? I read somewhere when Remco won it last year, it was hell of a field!

Last year it was stronger than the Tour!

Go Moh.

Ask BlueRoads, not me.

Carapaz, Simon Yates, Schachmann and Fuglsang (a week before winning a monument) is not a strong field?
