Well if not for Morkov crashing before Guarnieri, that would have been decent.FDJ really messed up their position at the key turn
Apparently it was the other way around. Guarnieri crashing against Morkov's rear wheel.Well if not for Morkov crashing before Guarnieri, that would have been decent.
Démare managed to finish 2nd despite this.
Sanz’ crash had no affect on the result in the slighest.So both sprint finishes were marred by crashes in the final - Though Gaviria and Bennett seem to be in decentshape.
He has as good a chance as anyone. No chance. The jersey belongs to Sagan.Wonder how good he can do in the points classification in the TdF. He could be an outsider for the green jersey.
Bennett must have the biggest collection of solo wins of any bunch sprinter who isn’t also a top classics rider.
Bennett's never really shown an appetite for going for jerseys, as much as just going for stage wins. And I can't see Quickstep changing that; Lefevere likes to see his guys crossing the line with their arms in the air, which you don't do at intermediate sprints, which is where Sagan always pads out his lead.Wonder how good he can do in the points classification in the TdF. He could be an outsider for the green jersey.
I wonder how this will play out. The final climb is supposedly easier to control, and less extreme than thursday. Still, 18 seconds isn't a lot, and with Landa, Chavez still within range, i can't imagine nothing happening. Will Almeida have to set a fixed tempo, react to attacks or maybe he could go in the attack himself and put the other teams on the back foot?
I would't count it out.Sam to lead out Remco up the climb for another DQ win
Morkov (his leadout) and other riders crashed and after that a lot of riders were held up and the surviving riders hesitated. There was noone to make the tempo and Bennett knows he has one of the best long kicks on such a finsish.I still dont really understand what happened and why Sam went so early as it looked like he had 2 leadouts but amazing attack from a sprinter so I aint complaining
I see. I had thought Morkov made it through the crashMorkov (his leadout) and other riders crashed and after that a lot of riders were held up and the surviving riders hesitated. There was noone to make the tempo and Bennett knows he has one of the best long kicks on such a finsish.
