[Inquitus]

Sagan 4th? Some ride, some man for one man!

 

[Salvarani]

Alaphilippe went at the right moment but Fraile was too strong today, great ride from him

Sagan 4th on this stage, what a rider

 

[Gigs_98]

Boy that was exciting

 

[franic]

:surprised: Sagan is fourth...

 

[Rollthedice]

Sagan.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sagan wow!

 

[Saint Unix]

Holy sh... Sagan!

 

[burning]

Great ride by top 4. Also, I think Sagan was 5th in 2015, this is not an outlier from him.

[Finn84]

Time limit might be 33'50".

On Italian TV they are discussing the fact that Sagan can be competitive for WC in Innsbruck

 

[Screecher]

Sagan better than in 2015 even though he looks chubbier.

 

[sir fly]

Congrats to Fraile. Managed to bridge and hold on.
And very important from the point of view of the incident earlier mentioned.

>5000m of climbing. Good luck with that.

 

[RedheadDane]

Astana riders want to get to the finish to celebrate the win.

I totally agree with you: also for me it's too much. Then GvA won in Rio, so you never know.

No, but I for sure would like to see him target LBL some day

he ruled out trying to add monuments Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Il Lombardia to his palmarès.

“I’m almost 80 kilograms,” he said. “Don’t believe those that say 73-74, my in form weight varies between 78 and 79. How can I win those races?”

In any case he's already tried to focus on improving climbing in 2014-2015. It did not go well

martin puncture

 

[woodburn]

Flat for Dan Martin.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Vamos, Omar!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Unlucky Dan Martin again
flat

 

[woodburn]

Yates cracks again.

Dumoulin positioned further back. Hopefully he paces himself on this one.

Yes, matches my calculation. 12% allowed. Speed between 40 and 41 km/h.

Cool.

Does not mean he might reconsider some day, especially when he can prove to himself like today that he for sure can be up there in these type of stages which been very hard with a lot of ups and down. AGR from this year he was 4th also.
