Is it me or does Ganna have insanely long legs?

You.
He is tall man so he has long legs.
But he looks pretty proportional.

 

[Pippo_San]

Sagan definitely lost the right moment...too little too late.
Ulissi just had a little time to breathe.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Nibali hasn't improved since last time they finished here: 8th, like in 2008.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sagan looking strong.

 

[Keram]

Oh Sagan Probably lost too much when he needed to bridge that gap. But good performance. Congrats to Ulissi.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Wow, classy! Ulissi is just poison in such a finale.
And completely astonished by Honoré's effort, was convinced it was a rider error, not having Almeida on his wheels. But apparently DQS went all in for the surprise attack.
Having said that you cannot do such a result without the legs to do it.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Honore proving it was an insane decision by the Danish national coach, to burn him up early pulling the peloton at worlds

 

[Wvv]

Sagan lost his X-factor for a while now, don't know if he'll find it back.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

The young Quickstep rider must feel pretty honored to finish behind the two star riders.

 

[Salvarani]

Sagan is still good, just not a winning machine anymore.

He did great to bridge the gap, but it ultimately cost too much. Good performance nonetheless.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

What happened to Vlasov? DNF according to PCS

Yay, last year seemed like Anders Lund got every of his cards right.
This year looked like he'd not only dropped the whole pile on the floor, it seemed like they were sorted subsequenty by a 3 yo child.

Stomach flu

 

[fuiers]

Old Sagan would have never made such an amateur mistake in the end. Well ridden by Ulissi.

Yeah, he used the 2 of the doms in best shape (Honore & Gregaard) early, pulling the peloton, which the team didn't need to do in the first place.

France and Belgium were nowhere near the front for the first 150 k

Anyway, back to topic - and onto the LBL finale

 

[Screecher]

Perhaps it could've been closer, but he wasn't going to beat Ulissi in that sprint either way.

 

[sir fly]

Masterful finale by Ulissi.

Say what you want but closing a small gap on a climb to the finish before being outsprinted by an on paper inferior sprinter is the most prime Sagan thing out there.

I have to verify this but you did miss the final 5km of LBL did you not?

 

[richwallone]

Happy for Sagan to wear mountains jersey tomorrow, even if only for one stage... That's gotta be his first one

First time in a while we have seen prime Sagan.

A bid sad not to get anywhere in 12 years, really.
