jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Share Pelucchi left his sprint very, very late but he timed his effort perfectly. The Italian tucked on to Andre Greipel's wheel and didn't panic when it appeared the German had been boxed in. Instead, he waited for the gap to open ahead of Greipel, and then followed his wheel to the final 100 metres, before unleashing a crisp sprint finish.

jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Share Aged 25 Pelucchi's a former junior Italian champion in the kilo and keirin. Has won second-tier races, this is & IAM's first world tour win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Share Although Arnaud Démare went from a long way out - he hit the front with over 200 metres to go - he looked like he had the win in the bag right up to the last moment, when Pelucchi nipped past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 13, 2014 Share Peter Sagan looked well-placed but faded to 5th place in the final 100 metres, while Mark Cavendish and QuickStep made no impression in the finishing straight. Building nicely for the Monuments...

jcza Posted March 13, 2014 Share Cavendish crossed the line in 17th place. Assuming he was the first Omega Pharma-QuickStep rider across the line, he will retain the overall lead this evening. Either way, the maglia azzurra remains with the team for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
