[burning]

Can they do it??

 

[Carols]

I hope they Stay Away!!!!!

 

[Broth3r]

Ohey, Palestine flags. That's relevant.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Kristoff is a legend in this weather

 

[thrawn]

Noooo Poor Bauer.

 

[Eclipse]

classic breakaway dismay

 

[Carols]

Damn... Kristoff...

 

[trevim]

Kristoff is a legend in this weather

Haussler as well.

 

[Amsterhammer]

Poor Sagan, only third.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Stupid f****** sprint scum. Not quite as gutting as Martin in the Vuelta, but close.

 

[burning]

I'd love to see Haussler winning

 

[Frosty]

I think the front two messed about just inside the last kilometre and that lost it?

 

[kingjr]

Stupid f****** sprint scum. Not quite as gutting as Martin in the Vuelta, but close.

Someone seems to be mad.

 

[Hayabusa]

Gutted for Bauer, Kristoff and the other sprinters aren't deserving of the win when you think about how much effort Bauer and Elmiger put in but that's racing!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

There's a pro rider called Jack Bauer? Wow..

Unlucky not to get his name better known today!

 

[trevim]

If Greipel wasn't such a nice guy, Haussler would've won.

 

[Netserk]

I think Bennati could have done it

 

[GuyIncognito]

Someone seems to be mad.

There's no reason to be mad. The break wasn't caught because of the peloton's biggest hypocrite being ****ed at being regularly beaten in time trials, like that Vuelta stage.

 

[Broth3r]

Someone seems to be mad.

And how is that not understandable?

 

[Ryongsyong]

Man oh man, annoying flat stage, tiny breakaway, and then when they get a chance to actually win for once they decide to start playing silly games and looking at each other with one K to go and throw it all away. What a stupid day.

 

[willbick]

Only got themselves to blame, they started soft-pedalling inside the last 2k

 

[kingjr]

Gutted for Bauer, Kristoff and the other sprinters aren't deserving of the win when you think about how much effort Bauer and Elmiger put in but that's racing!

"deserve's got nothing to do with it".

 

[maxmartin]

I have to say this edition is so much more watchable than previous two years.
Of course the weather helps big time.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

"deserve's got nothing to do with it".

Doesn't mean we can't still be gutted that the little guys that did all the work got stomped on at the last second by the guys that get it delivered to them on a plate anyhow.

As mentioned, not as gutting as the Tony Martin Vuelta stage, but still close. There's nobody specifically to blame, but it's annoying to see a rare escape victory in a flat stage snatched away at the last second by the guys that win all the time anyway.

And to add insult to injury Sagan beat Coquard in the sprint anyway.

Yeah, poor little guy. I'd say that's just what happens if your qualities (or lack of) as a rider require the peloton's mercy or stupidity for you to get a win in the Tour.
