Haedo 2nd
Davis 3rd

Was that Bazayev leading Davis through the pack for the sprint?

He did the same yesterday, but gone too early, burned up and then just told Allan to join that forming Sky train on the left.

Some more utterly bizarre riding by Team Sky, I don't know who they thought they were leading out.

Chris Sutton- he was in a jersey (points maybe?). Weylandt did a Cav and moved accross in front of him making him break and dropping out of the sprint.

At least their lead out was only 50m too short this time

 

[jobiwan]

A good win for FDJ. That was a chaotic sprint.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sutton was there but Weylandt went in front of him.
And then Sutton got mad for no reason at all.

Sutton was probably ****ed that Weylandt went, they should ofcourse all wait for him to start the sprint what a moron

 

[Mellow Velo]

Hutarovich wrongly ID'd as Seb Chavanel.

 

[Ryaguas]

Davis AWESOME again!!!! and still with the yellow jersey! Chavanel and Haedo did it great too! but Astana did really good job leading out Davis... Bazayev was killing himself to bring Davis to the front...!

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

How on earth did Vaconsoleil screw that sprint up?!! They had the numbers and even a gap going round that roundabout and then bang, they were gone.

Davis did do a great ride, but that wasn't Chavanel, it was Hutarovich from FDJ.

Sutton was sprinting like a madman before he almost crashed into Weylandt. No reason for him to protest, really.

What happened to Greipel?

they started too soon,bozic had only one man in front with like 1 km to go

 

[Bagaskara]

feel sorry for Greipel..that was a bad move


or he wanted to win a stage with another style?

 

[Mellow Velo]

Weylandt closed the door slightly. Shock horror.
Paolo Bettini the new podium girl.

What happened to Greipel?

Bridged to a breakaway near the end. Guess it fried him.

Turns out it was younger Haedo. Almost picked up his first Euro win.

 

[saganftw]

do they have dinosaurs in the same colours as the jerseys?

 

[tgsgirl]

Turns out it was younger Haedo. Almost picked up his first Euro win.

Didn't older Haedo pass out after his crash on stage one? Perhaps he's still not feeling 100%.

 

[Ryaguas]

Ufff sorry yes that was Hutarovich...! again Davis needs more kick cuz he has a good speed but that final kicks is what is killing him...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Davis is never the all winning sprinter. He is usually the guy that always finishes 2nd or 3rd because he picks the right wheel.
He doesn't have the ability to really speed it up

I think lucas passed out, he was also brought to the hospital, amazing recovery.

It was young Haedo? That is impressive!

Crazy stage, crazy sprint.

Sprinters escaping from the bunch.. what?! That was really weird. I can understand Napolitano trying as he doesn't seem to be the one winning a stage from a bunchsprint, but wth was Greipel thinking?

Sprint was a mess..., but fun tho. Allthough I like Bozic and Brown to win

 

[RedheadDane]

The Danish Eurovision commentators were kinda confused...

"Was it JJ? No, it was the FDJ-man. And it definitely wasn't JJ, it was Lucas. Well... they look alike... coz... they're brothers!"

(Not the exact words...)

Not only Greipel... WTF was Vancasoleil thinking??? not even Sky are that bad in the timing in a lead-out...! Bozic was totally alone in the last KM...

He has the form and the legs... but he is lacking the final kick cuz he really knows what is the right wheel to follow!

they don't look alike at all. lucas is like 11 kg (25 pounds) lighter. totally different build, more a climber. jj is much bigger.
