Well that was my point isn’t it. It’s remarkable when an all round cyclist has the speed to beat a set of top sprinters. It’s uncommon.

True. What's also true is that I have gotten rather used to him making the uncommon common. As in most of us (or at least some of us) expected him to be in with a shout on the stage. Like I said earlier, a fantastic bike racer to watch.

 

That said, I think Gaviria is going to give Sagan serious competition in for the Green Jersey. Another super special talent imho.

Indeed. I have watched him in the Giro, Graviria I mean. Don’t recall how he climbs. Is he likely to make it to Paris? He seems like a very likable guy.

He is very versatile..

 

Tomorrow will give us an indication of how he will fair in the long run for green.

Cav not up for it - time for DD to go to plan B

Dimension Data worked so hard to get him there, when you watch him from the helicopter shots, looks like he isn't even bothered to try

Headwind factor at play today with the sprint finalè

The Gav’ is one special racer to be artful enough to time in so well

I still remember his breakout season in Colombian National colours when he pipped Cav’

It's not certain yet if he will start tomorrow.

A hilly stage with an uphill finish today. Should be a shake up to the normal sprint formula.

Yep, the sprint point also comes early and with Bora and QS chasing points the start could be a bit hectic depending in who in the break and how many in the break.
