Did he ever showed he is fast enough to win a sprint in this big of a group? He is not slow, but far from the fast guys (proper sprinters, MVDP, Wout, Pedersen etc.), so I can see him winning a sprint of 4-5 guys or bigger group if most of them are climbers.

Only good sprinter he's ever beaten in a sprint is Roglic.

You guys are being too hard on Fred. He's obviously still suffering from Roglic deliberately crashing into him.

Wow, Girmay is good!… 
Sad thing is now always the „What if“… What if the cork incident wouldn’t have happened? With better eyesight, he nowadays would be even faster… sad

Clearly Girmay should have signed with Movistar for the eye checkups at Clinic Baviera.

Not saying he should be beating Girmay in a race like this, but I would expect him to be able to beat the likes of Ciccone, Bendixen and Soto in a sprint...

well, today he said that he went so early because he had no idea how far to go due to "the shadow" - so who knows

Yeah, because it‘s Bini… You know, I care about his health just as he would be my own son… He‘s so fragile and tender…
All things must be 100%, so that he can beat even MVdP and WVA…
You know - his sensitive eyes…
But today‘s win made me super happy

This is such a nice guy, Girmay… Great person and rider. No wonder he‘s so popular amongst us fans.well, today he said that he went so early because he had no idea how far to go due to "the shadow" - so who knows

Rojas with his second fourth place of the year. Nice of him to revive an old, old meme.
He didn't, it was a mistake in the results.

From my brief glimpse of the overhead, he did seem to pause and look down as if he had a mechanical. Or maybe he was just wondering what had happened to his legs..

Well, at least the neutralisation at Bessèges happened early enough to catch Cumbre del Sol here, let's hope something happens there already.

On the flip side for Jumbo, Oomen has failed to make this 40-rider peloton. A shame he's never properly recovered from his iliac artery surgery, may be time to pack it in at the end of the year for him given that he's out of contract.
