Shame man..they deserved that win.. of course I would've preferred if it was Sagan but you could see from 8km out that it wouldn't be.

 

 

Happy that Impey is finally getting some recognition from the press for the hard work he does.

 

Lol.. I think we all here knew that Sagan would attack from km0.[emoji23] [emoji23]

 

How to solve a problem like Sagan

 

With just under 25km remaining, it was down to Durbridge to the “grunt work”, as White put it, riding hard and dictating ahead of the short third-category Côte de Saint-Ferréol with just over 7km to go – and then it was over to Impey.

 

“Luke did a great job keeping me fresh for the climb,” said the South African. “It was about throwing out a few punches there at the end, trying to soften everyone up – we were obviously worried about Peter and Boasson Hagen.

 

“He [Matthews] said he was feeling good, then basically it was just trying to keep attacking. It was a short climb but pretty hard, and we just had to make sure everyone was softened up and couldn’t surprise us at the end.”

 

The principal threat was, naturally, Sagan.

 

“Peter’s a freak,” said White, putting it bluntly. “Who’d have thought a guy who’s chasing the green jersey and has already won a stage would go on the attack from KM0 on a first-category climb?”

 

And so while Impey went about his business, Matthews took up residence on Sagan’s back wheel, following the world champion as he took responsibility in closing the gaps, and then refusing to budge even when he slowed and weaved across the road.

 

“Obviously we had Michael watching Peter Sagan. It’s not rocket science – he’s the best bike rider in the world at the moment," said White. "Daryl played it well, forced Sagan to cover everything, then when you have Michael versus Sagan, after the amount of effort he’d made, Michael was good enough to beat him.”
