From the results it looks like a nice finish - with those little gaps in between groups, and only a group of 5 or so riders arriving in the same time. I'm not sure but I think this finish is new - I hope they keep it in the future

Andy still better than Gerdemann, who wanted to win here :D

Poor Linus. I remember when he was going to save German cycling. Or bring the German public back to cycling, or something. Anyway, he had some good wins those first five years or so of his career, and I'd hoped he would show well here. Here's hoping for a stage win!

Nothing wrong with the parcours imo.
There are very good riders that are very motivated here.
Fast pace in the finale, no free rides.

Again, there are enough in it to make a serious race.

Cofidis to annihilate the field today.....

Race starts at 12:30 local.

Unglaublich: Von der vierkopfigen Spitzengruppe waren drei Fahrer aus dem Tinkoff-Saxo-Team!

Incredible: From the four-man lead group were three riders from Saxo-Tinkoff team!

Tinkoff is rocking the boat this year, very nice win for Matti, I am happy for him he deserves it.

Matti Breschel, winning races since leaving Rabobank. A story told not once, but a million times in other instances (like Matthews) :D

I dont know many riders that have been so unlucky as Matti, its incredible what that man have been through, I am really glad he finally have some luck, and he can show what a huge talent he truly is.
