Agreed, but I do dislike the way he bullies the other riders with his leaning and elbowing anyone around him. Seems he hasn't learned from his disqualification from two years ago.

Everyone throws elbows around in a sprint. It's impossible not to. I'm not sure you realise just how intense it is. Even at the shit level I race at, elbows and shoulders are out all the time in sprints. Its a damn sight safer leaning the shoulder or elbow into someone at 55k/h than it is taking your hand off the bar. Also, it's widely acknowledged - even by Cav himself - that the Sagan/Cavendish crash was a racing incident that the commissaires got badly wrong
Plus Sagan often sprints without a lead out man protecting hos corridor. It's rare people criticise Sagan in the finish: Unlike Cav in his early to mid period.
La Planche de Belles Filles today. Can't wait. I hope to be cycling up it late summer. Love the roads in the Vosge! I shall note the time and triple it, and hope for top half on Strava. Dan Martin for win today, a couple of stage 6s for his palmares.

Pinot does look strong, but he's done this before then had an jour sans. He can't handle the heat either, so when it gets really hot he'll melt. G looks the strongest, but lots of others still knocking around there or thereabouts.
Love me a bit of de Gendt - Lotto Soudal are my favourite team with him, Benoot and Wellens being my favourite riders to watch. All of them always put in a shift, de Gendt in a breakaway is a thing to behold

Its the end of an era with those three but it would feel even more so with all three missing
What a marker from him to throw down, that was a ride we saw from last year
Alaphillipe did really well, a little disappointed he didnt hold on
Alaphippe, my outsider for podium, amazing today.
Of course didnt know who it was but then the angle changed and you knew it was the white glasses of Thomas
Would have been a little surprised had it been Egan Bernal though
Mountains are going to be brilliant
Can Ineos make up that time or will we get a French winner?
