Kristoff says Degenkolb would've won but he got problems with his gear. Bad luck!

 

[Norbea]

Kristoff says Degenkolb would have taken it if he hadn't had gear problems the final meters. Sportsman like behavior by Kristoff, giving credits to John for a good sprint.

 

[Bushman]

Too bad for Degenkolb and Giant, Søren Kragh rode a perfect leadout and Degenkolb looked strong despite his gear problems.

 

[argyllflyer]

Nasty accident on the line involving Tleubayev.

[Nirvana]

I'm not at home now but this morning when i set up the decoder for the recording of the stage i saw on the tv guide that Eurosport has full coverage from the start (and also tomorrow).

Danny Van Poppel can't stop at the moment.

 

[classicomano]

Is there any chance Young Danny will enter the Vuelta? Seems like a perfect moment to me.

Be a good fallback plan.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Hope so, he already won a stage last year in the Vuelta.

 

[TMP402]

Where does DVP rank if every sprinter in the world had a clear lane and a flat finish? Obviously Cavendish and Kittel are the top tier. Then Greipel. Then...

 

[TMP402]

Oh, and Andy Fenn did his thing as usual. It's a shame he's not renewed at Sky yet.

 

[Vladivar]

Really enjoyed todays race for differing reasons. The race considering i watched it all was mostly standard fare but the setting and the Norwegian people made it interesting. The scenary is stunning.

Also great to see Degenkolb back involved in finishes, i do like him. DVP is in fine form at the moment too and appears to be really improving.

Nesna → Korgfjellet 166km

Gianni Moscon and Sky did the two step on everyone's heads.

 

[TMP402]

I didn't watch the race, but I notice these two tweets:

Paul Voß ‏@paulvoss86 6m
'Viking of the day' should go to the camera motorbikes here in Arctic. They doing a good job in motor pacing riders. #ArcticRace #sarcasm

Matt Brammeier ‏@Mattbrammeier85 11m
So boys, what can we do about these motorbikes pacing breaks & the peleton? They are ruining our sport. @BrianCooksonUCI can you help us?

 

[Thepirateisgood]

Agree for the peloton, they had an easy job today what with the 4 motos pacing in formation ahead. For the breaks not so much. Great win for Moscon, what kind of rider is he - 3week or oneday?

 

[yaco]

The motorbikes were FAR to close to the peleton at times today - I'll never understand why the moto's aren't always 50 metres ahead.
