How much does Appolonio weigh? He looks kinda chunky.

67kg. Looks much heavier on those pictures.

contrary to cyclingnews headline, this wasnt his first pro win.

But his first for sky after a bucketful of podiums, well deserved.

Appollonio and Guardini will ensure Italy get any sprinter's WC for the next 12 or so yrs.

Nah, Brailsfords going to make him live in Manchester and in three years we can claim him.

Cavendish/Swift, Goss/Matthews/Howard, Galimzyanov, Degenkolb/Kittel and Sagan say Hi.

This race seems to have been a bit of a snoozefest...

 

[Winterfold]

It's good to see cyclists who look like they eat and wouldn't get beat in an arm wrestle by a 9 year old girl

67kg isnt exactly chunky either

Wouldn't say Sagan has a chance in a pure sprinter's race, but you may want to add Greipel there, sure he's not young but he'll be around for at least part of that 12 years.

Schleck 2nd in sprint finish - wtf.

 

[Gloin22]

He attacked within the last kilotmetres and was caught on the line.

 

[Gloin22]

Appollonio wins his first ever Points Jersey

Yea, I hope they stagnate, otherwise I'm going to be relying on the Vuelta for good Grand Tour routes

Fear not. Appollonio will always do better in more selective finishes.

Well, varying degrees of "sprinters", I wouldn't say Matthews would win in an easy race either. Sagan impressed me with his California efforts. I doubt Greipel could beat an elite field of sprinters, whereas maybe Degenkolb will, depending on how he develops.

Leopard locked the race down. That they moved the arrival of the queen stage 40 km after the last hill to one sponsors headquarters doesn't help either

How much does Appolonio weigh? He looks kinda chunky.

Even fatter than Cavendish.
