[Tim Cahill]

Alpecin did Milan's job for him despite the dodgy move by Groves, he was up *** creek without a paddle

 

[TourOfSardinia]

MVdP wasted

 

[Mayomaniac]

Big Vril bomb by Milan, way better without a Consonni leadout...

 

[Red Rick]

Merlier vs Milan shows the difference in glycolytic vs anaerobic ability.

 

[EddyMazzoleni]

This uphill drag where power is relatively more important than aero really suits Milan, he won fair and square

 

[Sciatic]

Van Aert surfed into position quite nicely and almost got the jump on Milan. But he was never going to beat Milan straight up.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Please stop wasting MvdP leadouts on mid sprinters.

 

[Samamba]

When is De Lie going to learn he can't just sit in the middle where you're 100% going to get boxed in. He looked pretty good for once tho, but these are the finishes he should be able to battle for the win on

 

[E_F_]

If a bike race end no contest is that called a ride over?

 

[Unchained]

Where is Girmay?

Missing in action..

 

[Red Rick]

Cycling fans rejoice. Wout van Aert is back in his rightful place.

 

[movingtarget]

Strong win by Milan. Blew them away.

MVdP wasted

Leadout was the best, Groves positioned optimally. All Lidl Trek riders for example were gone with 900m to go. But Milan way stronger than Groves simply.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Van Aert looked kinda good, he was getting barged around a lot and a few months back probably would've noped out of it and finished 15th

I would have loved to see a Wout victory here, alas Milan was too strong.

Yeah I'd fancy him if the finale is slightly longer and steeper. He had to drive himself to the front too on the 4% section.

At least he is not disgraceful to Belgian Nat jersey..

Congratulations to Jonathan Milan for winning the sprint.

Bar the crash rather perfect sprint stage, lets hope for sprinters to do it again tomorrow. To bore the *** out of us, till finale that is.

 

[Kedjan]

Groves had nothing.

 

[search]

Groves had nothing.

him and Bauhaus had to invest quite a bit to get back in front after that divebomb, to be fair

 

[Tim Cahill]

What is that ridiculous nosetape Skjelmose is wearing, throw him out of the race immediately,

 

[Cycling111]

Disaster. It was a finish for him.

Ouch!

 

[Unchained]

That race was equivalent to root canal!!!

 

[Samamba]

Groves had nothing.

DQ worthy divebomb btw with 1.5k to go, but we only punish riders when a crash happens. Almost crashes out Milan there for absolutely 0 reason. Exactly why I can't take sprinters serious when they cry about safety.
