DQS did not dominate bunch sprints last year. Bora edged them out in bunch sprint wins. DQS had the stronger sprint support but Bora had Bennett and Ackermann who won more than Viviani and Jakobsen.

Yes, their classics dominance was driving me nuts, though.

True. I know he loves to work with Archibold but I think he has outgrown him
Archbold’s job last year was to drop him off with 1 or 1.5 km to go not to be a traditional final lead out. It looks like they are using him as second last man this year. Keisse-Archbold-Morkov represents a huge amount of horsepower. It’s actually weird watching Bennett on the end of a big train rather than wheel surfing.

Your right it was a man in between Archbold and the line that he was missing
Despite what various websites claim, this isn’t live on Eurosport UK is it? Or any other tv channel in Britain or Ireland?
I don't know about that, but I do know that GCN are streaming it for free on their youtube page.

Any chance we could get them to switch Ireland to a different Eurosport after Brexit
No problems - you've got to take Carlton as part of the deal though.Any chance we could get them to switch Ireland to a different Eurosport after Brexit

Mitchelton should consider catching the break before the final point sprint in order for Impey to gain more time. He already got 3 bonus seconds from yesterday's stage.
And if he gets 3rd today after Ewan and Bennett, he has 10 seconds on Porte and Dennis. Being sneaky is the best way for Impey to win races.

Archbold still has his place - he's the ultimate train hijacker. He would get Bennett on the back of the best train with about 7-800 metres to go and let him do his thing.

What's that weird jersey Impey is wearing? With the tiny flag... at first when I saw it, I thought it was an undershirt.

According to our commentators it's the South African National Champion jersey.

I was referring to the tiny size of the flag. I know he's South African Champion.

Awesome finish by Ewan.
Had the best position entering the finish, though.
Nice stage. Fine cycling ground.
