Gallopin should have probably waited instead of going on the attack in the final K. He'd have had a good chance to win

Absolutely pathetic racing from GVA and Matthews. Not a single pull from them, through we're used to that from Matthews, but not GVA.

Last two laps were really nice. Well actually last 50km

Great race unlike Quebec! Nice tactics and win by UAE with Ulissi. I thought Slagter would have it when he was in his wheel but he kinda died.

I don't understand why Mollema did such an effort to catch Gallopin.. tactical suicide. :lol:

Also saw a real strong Henao and Wellens, but they were caught in the peloton..

Matthews couldn't even follow Dumoulin when he tried to bring him back to Sagan's wheel. Absolutely pathetic that Dumoulin had to sacrifise himself again for Matthews. I'm really pissed off about that.

It's Scientifically proven that GVA never works in a group with Sagan.

Ulissi good job, but gva, shame on him, many times he's OK to not do the turn, but today just wasn't one of them. If he did, then doumolin would go too and gva could have won.

Sagan was actually helped out by a lot of teams (Sky, QS, Sunweb). He just needed one Bora to help close the gap, and they'd have done it. No point in looking at others this time.

Nice last couple of laps. A shame Greg was preferring WT-points over the victory though.

I guess someone just earned himself a spot on the Italian team for the WC, Felline has no form and Nibali crashed hard yesterday, so I'd say just bring him to Bergen and send him on the attack.

I think he probably knew that he would have been one of the fastest in the sprint normally, so I would guess that he didn't feel that he could win the sprint if they finished together.
