[Unchained]

6 wide..

 

[Finn84]

Astana pulling. Someone thinking to do Vino?

 

[Arked]

Rafal Majka - the leadout man.

 

[Red Rick]

Bennett snatches defeat from jaws of victory by getting boxed in.

Jakobsen wins.

 

[sir fly]

No nothing

Racing-wise no, but there was the proposal and toast... shame I haven't seen it live.

Nice obscure fact spot

It was the plan all the way from the beginning...

Another one for QS.
Congrats to Jakobsen.

Excellent race for Bennett, too.

Congrats to Rogla, Valverde, Pogi and all the riders making this race keep us by the TV sets.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Bennett snatches defeat from jaws of victory by getting boxed in.

Jakobsen wins.

Bennett has 4 2nd places. He was beaten by Jakobsen, then Gilbert, then Cavagna and then Jakobsen. Guess he will be glad if he joins QS.

 

[Lequack]

Gaviria didn't even contest that sprint. Still in pain or something else?

Also

 

[tobydawq]

He did contest it and got a fine 14th place for his efforts.

 

[F_Cance]

Richeze is such a dirty rider.

 

[RedheadDane]

Organiser already busy cleaning up...

 

[Anderis]

Nice result by Sanjok. It looks like Poland will have a competitive sprinter for the first time in years.

 

[tobydawq]

Richeze is such a dirty rider.

He is really growing in the wrong direction on me too.

 

[RedheadDane]

And meanwhile Jakobsen opts for the very healthy podium-drink choice of... a recovery shake!
Though he got a beer too.

 

[Breezy1985]

Anyone know where Primoz 83hr ride compares with other years. It seems pretty fast

 

[ice&fire]

They should send the beers to the JV bus for disposal

 

[Lequack]

 

[Red Rick]

Finally Roglic can call Nibs to show off his own trophy cabinet

 

[Lequack]

And the final podium, your winners

 

[RedheadDane]

Nice to have Brennauer on the podium as well.

And some technical problems with the mic...

 

[yaco]

Somehow Jacobsen won the same amount of stages as Bennett - Bizarre.

And the final podium, your winners

First time the rainbow jersey is on the podium of a Grand Tour in 23 years.

Last time was Abraham Olano who was 3rd in the 1996 Giro.

 

[Valv.Piti]

It also seems like the first time in 23 years the world champ has done anything of note not named Sagan.

It also seems like the first time in 23 years the world champ has done anything of note not named Sagan.

Boonen was pretty decent in 2006...

It also seems like the first time in 23 years the world champ has done anything of note not named Sagan.

I dunno… Hushovd 2011, TdF.
