hm, Eurosport CZ commentator is still talking about Sagan...

That's because they are probably just as uninformed as the Dutch commentators. They only knew about Sagan abandoning when twitter users like me told them :D

Picked the right time to go
I thought he was being stupid by not working with Costa but then he went almost immediately and it worked out for him. Good ride.

Great effort from Rui Costa but EBH was the strongest and deserved to win. Still another great result for Rui and his first big result in a big classic. It's a nice signal for his monument ambitions.

Costa was stupid for not at least pretending to work with EBH imo. He gambled and lost.

Yes, the young attacking Edvald is back!
This! Screw sprinting Edvald, this is what you're good at!

He won pretty much 95% of his numerous victories as a junior this way: attacking with 2 km to go. Great to see he still got it!

What? I rate this even lower than the Canadian races or the Brabantse Pijl.

i agree with you, imo this just showed he is on the right track form wise for his late season goals (canadian races, worlds and GdL)
