[trevim]

I think Haussler juuuust got the sprint.

And got a new friend in Sagan

 

[Kopuliak]

Haussler -> idiot ...

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Sagan really went for it there, trying to squeeze through a gap that simply wasn't there. Excellent sprinting by Haussler.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Will he keep it ? - looked a bit iffy

 

[Mellow Velo]

Haussler shuts the door on Sagan.........literally.

Sagan's the one who tried to squeeze through the gap the size of a pin.

 

[cineteq]

Haussler shuts the door on Sagan.........literally.

Agree, hope he gets relegated...

Why would Haussler be disqualified? He took the shortest line.

Sagan tried to force his way through a gap that wasn't there. If Haussler had been trying to do Sagan over, he could have had in the barriers easily.

 

[trevim]

More important: is Sagan in the lead now?

 

[Lanark]

Sagan's the one who tried to squeeze through the gap the size of a pin.

Haussler was in the middle of the road, untill he saw Sagan coming on his right, and Haussler steered in that direction. There was a big gap before that.

didnt see anything wrong with that, Haussler followed the line of the road, Sagan knew there was a right hander. No way will the organisers overrule it. Smark riding by Haussler

1 second behind Martin now. He still has to podium the finish.

 

[Tank Engine]

1 sec down

I think the door was his, to shut. (just)

 

[AtletiSK]

the problem is that Haussler kept closing in on the wall even when Sagan was next to him... anyway, it was not the cleanest move by any of them, so I think the results will stand

There was a bend in the road! Haussler was in the lead and took the best line around the curve, as he's entitled to do.

 

[trevim]

Oliveira and CC guy on the move.

 

[cineteq]

What's the point/seconds situation for Sagan now, if Haussler points stand?

 

[jobiwan]

Of course Haussler turned right. There was a right-hand bend!!

In the end, Haussler was the one complaining about Sagan's line.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Sagan's the one who tried to squeeze through the gap the size of a pin.

Sagan was obiously faster before that corner. What Haussler did whas dirty and unsportmanlike but I don't think it was against the rules.

 

[ruswilks]

Haussler followed the 'racing line' through the apex of the corner, you're never going to leave a gap on your inside round a bend like that if you're ahead...

 

[roundabout]

It did look like Haussler moved on Sagan slightly but it doesn't seem to be worthy of relegation.

If they both get relegated, I think Marcato would have the bonus seconds! Although he'd still lose to Martin on placings. It won't happen though. It was a hard sprint but not unfair.
