Fantastic win for Moser, congratulations!

Amazing comeback by Martin, way way waaaay more than what I expected. I'm extremely impressed.

 

[goggalor]

Awesome attack. Reminded me of Ballan in Varese, only it far closer to the finish.

Great tactic and positioning for Liquigas!Chapeau Tony!

Lucky Moser that Sagan wasn't there to take victory in the last 50 metres.

Highlight of the day: Martin's mother.

Fantastic Fan - he didn't stop to shake her hand and give her a kiss - as is usually in stage race at least.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Shame the camera missed the move by the three out of the Peloton until they caught Tony Martin.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Great team effort by Liquigas.

Great tactic and positioning for Liquigas!Chapeau Tony!

My thoughts, too.
Martin worked over the Argos boys and then Liquigas worked over Martin.

Good race, that. Liquigas played the tactics to perfection, and Tony Martin was really impressive. The modifications to the course have really paid off, I think - not much time to recover from the second climb of the Mammolshain before they have to do it again, which allows the gaps that are created to be a bit bigger, and create more chance of them staying away. Coverage was, as usual, excellent, HR deserve a lot of credit for their commitment to it - Köln got the final hour, which was pleasing enough, but to get a race broadcast almost in its entirety (OK, we did get the entirety a couple of years ago) on German TV right now is pretty crazy.

Nothing from Markus Fothen again...

Just sad.
