Isaychev!!! Almost ****s it up at the end. First win and a huge one. Surprised Perez didn't do better from his slipstream the guy's 8 feet tall

Good win, Isaychev was the strongest in the break all day. Shame for Puccio, was sat on Oss's wheel but just turned out to be the wrong one.

What on earth was that?
Isaychev, how did he win?

LOL, only guy out of the 7 who didn't get mentioned once as a potential winner for the stage :D I just get my mouth shut.

He's the lead-out guy for Katusha, so he's got some kick

That was pretty great, although I feel a bit sorry for Minard who made the best attack. Oss really screwed that up.

Minard and Perez(?) screwed it up by just looking at Oss instead of pulling.

You ought to start watching track cycling if you enjoyed that.
Very similar.

Track cycling is similar to the last four km or so. Here there was pretty much always someone on the attack for the last 20 km.

This was much better than watching yet another inevitably doomed break and yet another Sagan win.

Oss spent too much time on the front and at the end he was completely out of energy, plus i think his sprint ability are overrated, he is able to place himself in GT sprint beacause he has great positioning skills, but he is not that fast.

Oss was in theory the fastest sprinter of the seven guys who went in the break. And he'd just brought Minard back with what seemed to be ease. Minard and Perez were playing the odds sensibly in making him pull.

Perez came second! It was not a strong sprinting group
