[Samu Cuenca]

The former GreenEDGE boys are simply better than the current ones.

WOW Magnas, the man is Red Hot! Chapeau Sir and good going EF!

Pink Hot rather!

Rog not in the mix, understandable. Bagioli ever so close...

Thanks UAE and BEX chasing this down for nothing...

 

[gunara]

Lol the GPS couldn't sort itself out even after the finish

Cort's Vuelta!

Sweet payback for not getting combativity award yesterday.

Matthews had to jump on to Cort's wheel when Keukeleire jumped. What a jump, what a leadout.

The problem yet again is that Matthews is unable to hold Mezgec's wheel which has occurred all season - Mezgec was looking around for Matthews when Keukeliere and Cort went with 300 metres to go - Bike Exchange continues to ride for Matthews when Mezgec is faster - They need to stop their 'old school tactics.'

Hamilton said a couple days ago in an interview that Matthews was in awesome form and that they'll support him in all stages that suit him.

I'm pretty sure Cort wouldn't call it nothing

I know a lot of people mock him but Matthews hasn't exactly had luck on his side, either...

Bike Exchange have been a shambles inside the last km. Matthews had no hope as his lead out rider pulled off and left the gap in front of him. Once again they do too much work leading up to the sprint then get out jumped at the finish. Their sprint train obviously isn't strong enough to take it all the way and Matthews has lost some of his top end speed. Matthews would have been better off trying to win from the breaks as he is good enough for constant top five finishes in the bunch sprints but rarely gets close enough to win one at least this season.

I hope they find some of those then.

Yeah, the net result is the same.

I bet they won't give him combativity award today either smh

 

[RedheadDane]

I bet they won't give him combativity award today either smh

To be fair, he wasn't very attacking today.

When it becomes a constant I'm not sure it's just luck...........

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nice to see Jakobsen in the green again, I want that stuffed animal he got on the podium.

Who wins the award for "I have the whole team working for me, but I always disappoint award" for the last couple of years? Matthews or Landa? Or is there another serious candidate?

According to Cort, he has won over at least part of the Spanish public, so he might have better chances now, even though Amezqueta did get it today.

 

[Valv.Piti]

What else is Matthews gonna do if not contest stages like these? Its what hes paid for and its what gets them the most chances of a stage win.. ridicolous to mock BikeExchange. Id much rather see a race where the riders actually want to win instead of some random breakaway action and peloton rolling in 20 minutes after.

Matthews wins the points and Lands the polka dots
