Meh stage, meh winner

 

[Alexandre B.]

Best flat sprint display by Démare this year. Just in time! And for his last day with the tricolor

Beating Gaviria like that is huge.

I think that says a lot about Gaviria actually.
He seems less good than at the beginning of the year to me.

Strengthens my thinking Groenewegen is the fastest sprinter right now

Could be because others are getting better.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Doubt that. Demare was peaking in the spring for the spring classics.

 

[yaco]

I suspect the sprints will be evenly spread at the TDF, though Groenewegen is looking the fastest at this stage.

 

[shalgo]

How did the first 64 riders end up on the same time? There was a significant gap after the group with the lead sprinters.

The rule is 3s, that's a lot of meters at 50 km/h.

it' s up to the organizers to make use of this new rule - and there's nothing about it in the Tour de Suisse rulebook, as far as I can see. So it should still be 1 second

I think Porte did mention somewhere it was 3s today.

I agree. That's not a "meh winner" or a meh win. Good form ahead of the Tour. Bravo Nono!

I agree, very strong display.

He knew it was coming too as he had his team on the front from 20km out.

Stefan Küng going for it ...

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sunweb good with a lot of riders
