Re: Re:

Dark horses for the win: Valgren (ok, not too dark), Konrad, Serry, Vanendert.

One of the few guys who is actually competitive on both, cobbles and hilly races. Really like him a lot! I hope he does well.

So he did well

Re:

Valverde doesn't win, a victory for cycling!

To bit fair, he did very well today. Wellens and Ala were terrible today. In particular Wellens was dissapoting and defensive.

I actually think sagan died in kreuzigers wheel... why else would he let a gap?

 

[Valv.Piti]

A little disappointing finale in the end, I wanted to see Bala, Ala and Sagan.

 

[markene2]

Thanks Valgren you made me some money

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Sagan should have gone with Gasp. The bluff got him pretty far today, but there was just too little road left

 

[bassano]

valverde and alaphilippe such a loosers, nice win for valdgren
valverde simply do not know race, he can only suck wheels and wait for last km

Re:

Sagan rode like an idiot in the last 3K

Why?

 

[Forever The Best]

Great win by Valgren.

 

[Frankschleck]

Oh man I would have loved to see Kreziguer win that one.

That for sure

Re: Re:

WTF just Sagan did? Just let Gaspa go...

He closed the most gaps out of anyone.

I know but at this moment he surely lost.

 

[Durden93]

I don’t know what Sagan was thinking there. Have Valverde or Alaphilippe ever beaten him in a flat sprint?

 

[Flamin]

Excluding Paris-Roubaix 2016, the best final 25-30km I've seen in ages I think.

Did you watch the race? He was the only one working along with Sagan.

Yep, the perfect tonic to a terrible classics seasons. Lots of action and tension right the way to the line.

 

[Tonton]

Hats off Valgren.

Anti-climax ending tho'....

Solid racing. Everyone earned their places

How do you figure from this race?

 

[franic]

Re: Re:

Why?

That was the only time he should have chased like crazy. No way Valverde would have beaten him even with one leg left for Sagan

 

[jaylew]

Good racing today. What a great spring for Valgren.

Sagan and Valverde marked each other out.

 

[Robert5091]

Chapeau Valgren! Astana played it well.

Since when Valgren is a cobbled classic specialist? You should really be banned by your trolling in last couple weeks
