Heck yeah I didn't watch live but kept up a little on the cyclingnews feed - I saw the quartet in the break with a minute and that sharp point yet to come about 50km from the finish? I thought uh oh, asgreen, victor, pascal - those are some serious riders! I bet there's a few riders kicking themselves now.
Beautiful to see Campanaerts do one last huge turn, then drop away into the fast approaching scrum. Absolutely beautiful! I had hoped Craddock would've found his way into this stage...

I think today we are looking at the difference between a natural and wildly talented, unprecedented phenom and a hard working guy who worked nights at the canning factory.
And he was already on a UCI Continental team when his coach told him to get a day job for a few months.At least there will be a few sprint stages to keep things lively. I for one expect Vingegaard to lead out Wout on the Champs Elysees...

Wout Van Aert? I will bet you $10...$100...$1000? (your choice). Your prediction will not happen this year.

A very good stage for a sprinter stage with drama at the end....
