What happened in the previous corner? looked like people swinging back into the bunch after the corner caused a bit of a smash, but couldnt really get a good view of it.

I really don't like the Astana yellow jersey design, it's like Nibali's wearing dungarees.

That's a hell of a finish. Sagan's too slow against Kittel in a straight sprint and too fast for the rest to work with him any other time.

I admire his refusal to have yellow shorts and bar tape though.

I'm always amazed how in finishes like this, the two riders (and pretty much everyone else) always know right away who won :corsair:

Except this time, as Trentin thought Sagan won.

No, he thought Sagan won. Sagan was coming in faster and if the line been a little bit further away he would have won. Trentin had to be told by radio he had won.

The only time I dislike the rule that you get the same time as the group you were riding with if you fall is in situations like this. Nibali crossed the line a good minute before he'd gotten his rear end up off the road.

He'd have gotten up faster if that rule wasn't there, he didn't look all that banged up really.

Just watched the last 30k. Saxo sure stepped on the gas right after the TJ crash. He's also lucky he had Cancellara because it looked like the rest of BMC couldn't even keep up with the team cars.

Phil & Paul really pissed me off trying to blame Tejay's crash on the Movistar rider. Fucker was all over the road, the guy behind had nowhere to go. Tejay's a 'GC contender' though, so it couldn't have been his fault :shepface:

He whines when he loses in the most annoying way and when he does win he gets so smug that it's hard to root for him.

He also has a poo poo name. Having said that, I don't really have anything against the guy, I just never really think about or support him.

Nobody want to chase at the moment it seems. GC teams dont care for the riders in the break, but I don't know why for example rodriguez is letting them ride.

Lead is almost 9 min now.
