Gaviria, wow what a sprint! That was something. He's making the other sprinters looking like junior riders at the moment.

Gaviria is just too strong! :eek:
Seriously, that kid is going places. Mostly towards the finish line at a blistering speed.

This one was his best win.

Started the sprint as 10th and still winning.

Still think Paris-Tours was more impressive, but this is a close second. What a sprint!

Easily the best sprinter in this race and, I'd say, probably the best in the world as he is more versatile than Kittel who is the only one with higher top-speed.

That shouldn't be possible. :eek:
Had to bridge a big gap to a large group of sprinters who were going full gas, get past them, and beat the ones at the front. Amazing.

Richeze did nothing wrong. It was Ewan who tried to jump through a gap that wasn't there.

Note how Gaviria was behind Greipel 15 seconds before he started his sprint, and look where Greipel ended up. He's maybe not hands down the fastest in a drag race, but his maneuvering and awareness are on Sagan-level.

Ewan blocked by QuickStep. Can´t beat him in a sprint, let your leadout man block him :rolleyes:

Come on, he didn't stand a chance against Gaviria today who seemed twice as fast as the rest anyway!

Kind of his own fault. If he'd have gone right along the barrier like Gav did instead of trying to squeeze through that gap, he'd have likely won. Frankly, he almost caused a crash there.

Gaviria shows more tactical sense in the sprint once again.

I think he's vulnerable if he has to go from far out. But he's very, very good.
