Re:

That looked like Boasson Hagen to me, didn't know he could still sprint so well.

I remember the 2011 and 2012 Tours where he really mixed it up in the sprints - he's come second on Champs Elseeys

He got an awesome leadout.

Gutted for Eddie, and gutted for Cav.

Feel sorry for Eddy Boss. Never seen a closer margin. Well done by DD.

He was 4th last year too

Poor Eddy!

Re:

Terrible leadout by Quickstep. Left Kittel in an easy position to be boxed in and didn't even try to get him out of there

If it was anyone but Hagen sprinting, Kittel would be boxed in and finish 10th.

Sabatini launches with 400m to go with Kittel on his wheel, but the german chooses not to follow him.

 

[Irondan]

I'd still like to see the view that the jury used to award Kittel the win.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Kittel is given the win: "They just want to give it to the bigger name"
Hagen is given the win: "These french are desperate to have Demare win green"

No matter what the jury do, dumb people complain

 

[Carols]

I really don't know how they didn't call that a dead heat! Is there a camera on the other side?

 

[movingtarget]

I was really hoping that EBH won. Kittel just keeps finding a way to win.

 

[Alexandre B.]

This finish shows how silly is the green jersey points system on flat stages.

Re: Re:

At this point I hope Kittel wins 6 more so Prudhomme can realize how hopeless he is.

Prudhomme would actually like that probably

VMT, ideal scenario for him. He's desperate to get Germans (and obviously their money) flooding back to the Tour after the post-Ullrich wilderness years.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Van Rensburg was immense again. Just swamped Sabbatini and then dropped EBH off about 150m from the line

looked like Bosen Hagen to me

Same here. Let's wait and see who shows up to the podium to be sure.

No complaints - just want to know how they decided. Don't we - as fans - have the right to know?

Me too.

 

[Finn84]

Kittel equals Erik Zabel in stage wins.

 

[Norbea]

This should be a dead heat. If I ever saw one.

Not talking about you

We absolutely have a right to know.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Kudos for the cameraman who found the winner immediately.

 

[Frankschleck]

i swear it looked like ebh won

Re:

Same here.
I can't really understand why they don't show us the other pictures/angles (with higher resolution?) if there is any. Solves the problem with people thinking they give the stage to the high profile rider (Germany is a big market and all that).
