Good ride by Martin. But not enough.

 

[jobiwan]

Martin still 3 seconds back of Sagan in overall!

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Goddamnit

Poels was so close to a new Dutch victory in this stage
Good recovery by Martin though

 

[Zoncolan]

Martin rode a poor race tactically. Bad timing of attacks. He could have won the overall.
Great stage win nonetheless.

It's always easy to talk after the fact.

 

[roundabout]

Martin still 3 seconds back of Sagan in overall!

In the lead by 3 seconds actually

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Real grit by Sagan, but really Nibali deserves almost as much credit.

Dan Martin clearly the strongest man in the race. He dropped everyone on both climbs, but the second last climb wasn't long enough and the last climb wasn't steep enough. I'm glad he got the stage win, at least.

If he has this kind of form in the Vuelta, it will be interesting watching him on the climbs.

207 kms was 200 metres too short!

Ever the Dutchie fanboy.

You do know he's the new leader right?

 

[Zoncolan]

The graphic says Martin 1st overall. WTF?
Oops, seems I miscalculated. Martin ahead by three seconds.
Boy, do I feel stupid now!

Yep!! Just saw the graphics! Garmin's gonna hope Kittel comes through again!!!

What a finish!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Wait, what the hell?

 

[cineteq]

Real grit by Sagan, but really Nibali deserves almost as much credit.

Absolutely, hope Sagan has the opportunity to pay him back in La Vuelta.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sagan could do with a 2nd place tomorrow

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The graphic says Martin 1st overall. WTF?

Sagan collapsed, didn't finish in the group of +6s

So... 10 boni seconds + whatever Sagan lost...

 

[roundabout]

Wait, what the hell?

Sagan exploded in the last km

 

[jobiwan]

Martin better ride the Tour next year!!

 

[Mellow Velo]

Wtf?..............

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Ever the Dutchie fanboy.

In fairness, that was an excellent ride by Poels.

 

[ingsve]

Yep!! Just saw the graphics! Garmin's gonna hope Kittle comes through again!!!

What a finish!

With the overall win at stake I'm sure Sagan will do enough to get the needed seconds.

 

[El Pistolero]

So who said Sagan was a better climber already than Gilbert?
