Driedaagse De Panne-Koksijde 2.HC 26th-28th March 2013

[TourOfSardinia]

It's gonna be Sagan...

it ......... was

 

[aspire]

Sagan didn't hold his line

 

[the asian]

Demare FTW Le Bon leading him out.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sagan ahead of Demare it seems. Messy sprint. Demare would definitely have won if Sagan hadn't closed him in.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Let the hating begin.

 

[Parrulo]

sagan really is somehting else

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Démare shouldve won...

 

[HoinkDoink]

Demare would have won

 

[Gloin22]

Demare should have won that...

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

My list of races Cav could have won if OPQS knew how to ride for him is getting quite long. Hope the 10 seconds are worth it for Chav by the end of the TT.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Well, Démare should've won, but it's his own fault

 

[brilleaben]

Demare was fastest, but lacked the cojones.

 

[Cancellator]

Huge bike throw by Demare

[Ferminal]

Looked like Sagan held his line and the barriers closed in?

 

[Red Rick]

Cavendish is not even 1% of the sprinter he normally is when he has to sprint for a 10th place

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

My list of races Cav could have won if OPQS knew how to ride for him is getting quite long. Hope the 10 seconds are worth it for Chav by the end of the TT.

I guess they prefer to win the GC with Chavanel instead

 

[saganftw]

well if he isnt DQ, sagan is the winner

 

[Lanark]

Looked like Sagan held his line and the barriers closed in?

Yep, about what you can expect when you have a sprint finish that's slightly downhill with a curve in the last 150 meter.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Would be interesting to know ifthey post a formal protest, Sagan leaves the line, so there could be an argument to put him last of the groupe

 

[ILovecycling]

Great Sagan,he made he race again..It was his line ,there was little corner.Its Demare fault,he should sprint on the other side...

 

[Gloin22]

Anyone thinking if Demare didn't push Sagan a bit there, Demare would have got it ?

 

[shalgo]

I would have liked to see Demare take it, but I don't think Sagan did anything wrong there. And Demare also made the right move--Kristoff was on the other side of Sagan when he picked his line. It was just a tough sprint with that corner at 25 meters to go.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Anyone thinking if Demare didn't push Sagan a bit there, Demare would have got it ?

indeed, like this guy said:

Demare was fastest, but lacked the cojones.

 

[brilleaben]

If anything, Demare should be DQ. Touched Sagan, who ended up crossing the line practically in the middle of the road.
