Turns out Greipel wasn't expecting to sprint at all til the end. No taking anything away from Gaviria, however. That guy's going to be a stud.

And steven Kruijswijk also, Ruben fernandez could be an outsider too.

 

[jojogogo]

Re:

Though the Colombian sprinter won the 4th stage yesterday, he is suffering from pre-patellar friction syndrome in his right knee, which needs a period of rest.

EBH outclimbs Poels but Poels outsprints EBH. Bizarro climb

Does anyone know where Bibby and Hart finished in the stage?

 

[TMP402]

Poor old Stybar came fourth but has been pretty anonymous so far.

Hart had a mech half way up the climb

 

[pastronef]

veery nice win by Poels!

 

[Bushman]

Guldhammer 5th, now 3rd on gc. Very nice, hope he can keep it up.

 

[JRanton]

Owain Doull is having a good week. 5th on GC. You'd imagine Sky would be interested in him after next Summer's Olympics.

The climb was much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. I'd never have said there would be a 17 seconds gap back to the third placed rider. I thought it was going to be almost a mini-bunch sprint.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nice win from Poels and a good climb from Eddy Boss to take yellow.
