Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 9 kms to go33 secs between Sagan's lead group and Cancellara steam training in the bridge
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sagan and Thomas seem to have shared the chasing just as he OPQS riders have shared the attacks.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The OPQS riders are taking turns to attack. Sagan does not reply to Vandenbergh, letting Thomas chase him down.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 On a slight rise Terpstra attacks and gets a gap but Sagan closes him down and the four remain together.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sagan tries to wave Terpstra through to do a turn but he refuses.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Â Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) is also in the Cancellara group.Â
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The four are looking at each other but need not worry about the chasers. They are now a minute behind with three kilometres to go.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 This finish will be a real test of Sagan's tactical ability and sprint. Can the two OPQS riders beat him? What can Thomas do to win?
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Â Â Vandenbergh will surely sacrifice his chances to help Terpstra.Â
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 And with that relative ease with a superbly timed sprint, floating away from his foes
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Sagan did a subtle Hulk move as he surpassed Geraint's early sprint and takes a very solid win. He'll sleep well tonight.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Omega Pharma-QuickStep clearly has the strength to boss the racing but Sagan showed he knows how to win under pressure even when he is out numbered.Cancellara was caught out by a crash and showed his strength when he lead the chase.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Wow! What a race. If today's action is a sign of what is to come, it's going to be a great spring.Â
