Stage 16 is too hard for Sagan normally.Sagan's only chances are stages 16 and 19. Stage 19 would be hard because Demare could beat him again.
But a good bet for most top 10s without a win year after year.Oh man, so close for Konrad. The guy still hasn't won a stage of a race since a victory in the prestigious Triptyque des Monts et Chateaux in 2014.
So his best chance is to ride within the time limit because Demare could be eliminated in one of those hard stages.Stage 16 is too hard for Sagan normally.
It was a great ride by them, they’re really showing themselves to be as strong as any team in the race. To have 4 men in that group is really impressive. Almeida might be taking a little on himself a couple times, so we’ll see about that tomorrow.Almeida could win this. DQS might ride
Time limits are a joke on the mountain stages, so I think the points jersey is over.So his best chance is to ride within the time limit because Demare could be eliminated in one of those hard stages.
I have no idea why he's the only climber with a decent sprint to never win anything.Oh man, so close for Konrad. The guy still hasn't won a stage of a race since a victory in the prestigious Triptyque des Monts et Chateaux in 2014.
If the first sprint is for points, it’s achievable for Sagan. I think a lot will come down to where those intermediates are located. Similarly to the Tour.Stage 16 is too hard for Sagan normally.
Demare deserves the jersey. He is the best sprinter here.Time limits are a joke on the mountain stages, so I think the points jersey is over.
I was impressed............by his effort.Viviani wins his first sprint this year
That would be some very rude and indignant behaviour towards "The Amazing Race To Most Top 10 Without A Win" mythical competition.He's after The Amazing Race To Most Top 10 Without A Win.
Six so far this giro and he was doing pretty well beforehand.
Hope he bows out of that completion with the maglia rosa.
Stage goes to the Italian Valverde!
As much as I like Sagan, I have no problem with Demare winning the ciclamino jersey... He's is the sprinter of this year's Giro!Demare deserves the jersey. He is the best sprinter here.
It's a good point but with bonus seconds on the line, perhaps it's a little tricky to balance the "save yourself" from "don't loose seconds".It was a great ride by them, they’re really showing themselves to be as strong as any team in the race. To have 4 men in that group is really impressive. Almeida might be taking a little on himself a couple times, so we’ll see about that tomorrow.
Thank you!
Almeida got 6 bonus seconds so I don't really understand the point. They had every reason to ride.Pretty good summary... Especially agree on the 2nd point:

So Sagan should have 0 green jerseys rather than 7?Demare deserves the jersey. He is the best sprinter here.
