C'mon Greg
No cooperation. GVA must be cooked. Go Narvaez!
I was rooting for Greg but he was cooked after the climb so I switched to Narvaez. Much rather see him win than another sprint and a Démare GC win.
Wow, Demare is a beast at the moment. FDJ should bring him to the Tour for sure.
Fair play to him but...blech
When I saw the course I thought they could have made it a little tougher, with one or two longer climbs, but I still didn't expect Démare to win. Well, I think he and his team deserved it because they were a strong collective and no one else really stood out. Démare could be a contender for green as well.
Can't really argue with the FDJ performance here. Well done Demare.
Nice attempt to nick it by Gilbert too. But a bit disappointing from GVA. Thought CCC would break the duck here.
Agreed. Demare is arguably the best ”durable sprinter” at the moment, but that win was a superb team effort. Really top notch support riding.What a well-crafted win. Magnificent team effort.
