It's definitely a huge bummer Wout isn't there, the jersey distribution would be very different now I think. But I like Vine, so don't mind he inherited the polka dots all things considered. Now he needs to prove he's worthy of it.

I think he had a shot at it, even if Wout was there. Groves didn't. Like I wrote above, I actually cheer for Vine.

Groves confirms he's the best sprinter here. Scary finale in the rain but everyone stayed upright - chapeau!

Oi Oi Oi!

I'm not Aussie, but I know the chant. Nothing wrong with a bit of fishing on forums, but I actually like Vine. Seems like a humble, super talented guy, who loves to ride his bike.

Groves...not a big fan of many sprinters from any timeframe. Bunch of knuckle dragging bro types, who act like that for the same reason a lot of dudes buy motorcycles.

O'Connor is a twitt.

Yeah, so humble...

Good sprint by Vito Braet. He has had a quite solid 1st WT season.

It's a pity he had the untimely mechanical on the Leitariego stage and only managed to come back to the peloton less than 2k to go, otherwise he could have scored another top5 there.

Arne Marit on the other hand has had a dissapointing race.
