Time to change the final stage of the Tour me thinks... It's getting boring. 4 years in a row the same result.

A time trial into Paris or a MTT or something... ABC(Anything but Cav)

If that was a boring end to the stage you shouldn't be watching! Simples!

Cav probably still better sprinter than Sagan, surely more experienced, we will see next year... :)

Probably ? bwhahaaha its not even close , theres Cav and then theres the rest its as simple as that.
 
I'm still wondering what the he!! Chris Horner was doing. He may not be the brightest bulb in the peloton, but seriously, was there a reason for that other than the obvious intimidation one that was previously speculated?
 
Lost it at Lesley Garrett coming out. So weird. She is very annoying too.

Brad's face..

If Sagan was the better sprinter today why was he so badly placed in the run out. Must have been miles out of position, and positioning yourself in the right place is part of being a sprinter, is it not?

Not just about pure speed and strength, you need a bit of smarts to go with it!

Perfectly handled sprint by Cav. Definitely the man to beat going into the Olympics.

Also, when was the last time the yellow jersey led out the last km or so of a finish in Paris. I liked it.

Wiggo was so impressive when he was on the front.. Just the image of him leading it out and riders sprinting & not being able to get on terms was epic.

only blind people couldnt see that sagan was way faster than cav...the slovak is gonna become a superstar in the future
 
I just rewatched the sprint several times (on a very crappy youtube upload) and I don't know how you can say Sagan was the fastest. I'm not sure where Sagan was around the curve, but he was two bike lengths behind Cav since at least ~150 metres from the finish and didn't manage to make up more than one bike length, despite having Goss' and then Cav's wheel and despite Cav already having been in the sprint several hundred metres. He just didn't have the legs.

And awesome pull by Wiggins, wasn't just for show, he gave it all he had.

Sagan will be a star for sure, if he's not one already. But I'm certain he will not win the majority of sprints like this against Cavendish for the next five years at least.
