Wish they would enter Huy from a small group like that.

Re:

Nice touch with the stage profile zoom. Although the graphics on TdP were always horrid.

They make up for that with their kilometres to go ports, though.

 

[bosfor]

Conti with a Postlberger ?

 

[DNP-Old]

That was insane from Sagan.

 

[Rollthedice]

When Valverde retires Sagan will win a few Fleche.

Yep, Tour de Ballon.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Teuns is the real deal.

 

[tobydawq]

Sagan back in yellow. What a beastly performance by him! Better than even I had dared hope.

Incredible week.

[Arredondo]

Sagan could even have won the stage with more confidence. Beast.

Also really strong by Theuns. First one to break the Bala domination on Mur de Huy next year?

 

[jaylew]

Teuns is on fire. Sagan impressive as well. Lots of Dutchies up there.

Re:

I doubt Teuns agrees with that. He's looking like a multiple times Fleche winner himself.

Re:

Kelderman faded on the last meters, allowing Majka to take bonifications.

Sagan almost denied his designated leader those seconds

Alaphillippe disagrees more

 

[Valv.Piti]

If Sagan had played it a little more aggressively I think he might have won, but I understand his approach. Very nice finish indeed, looks like Teuns indeed is the real deal, but I had expected that honestly after how he won the first stage in Wallonie.

 

[Robert5091]

Chapeau Teuns! Sagan ?! wow.

Rare sight of Eiking performing well.

Valverde most of all disagrees with the assumption that he will ever retire.

 

[Arked]

Teuns confirms his abilities as murito specialist.

Sagan confirms he is a beast.

Majka and Kelderman gain few valuable seconds over other GC specialists.

Each year, Valverde has won Fléche Wallone more and more easily from 2014. That means he will win with 50 metres next year, culminating in him and Betancur doing a Gewiss-Ballan in 2021.

 

[bosfor]

Sagan is ridiculous but the tempo showed people actually care about GC so he won't make it through the last stage. Tomorrow is a long stage with super hot weather, I don't live that far away - it's already sweaty balls and tomorrow should be +5C. Feel sorry for the guys.

 

[Stan955]

Sagan should be the favourite to win this bike race now. He can start the last stage with 30sec advantage on most gc riders.

 

[RedheadDane]

Dunno what I was most shocked by.
The fact that Teuns seems unstoppable on these crazy-steep hills lately.
Or just how crazy-steep that particular hill was.

:surprised:
