I mean apart from Sagan being the best sprinter in the group and so everyone logically trying to conserve energy because they know Sagan will keep working on the front anyway. It's not like it's the first time he could have won, but didn't People attack --> Sagan will jump on their asses immediatly People don't attack --> Sagan will beat them in the sprint If you're a neutral viewer, these last 10-15km were really cool actually Edited July 12, 2016 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Then we see the same thing we see in 90% of the flat stages Waiting and waiting until the last 10km when the sprint trains are formed. Just like now only the last 10km or so where (very) interesting because of this mix of cyclists wondering what the best option is.

Federer91 2,725 Posted July 12, 2016 #406 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Contador to miss Rio. He is gonna train for the Vuelta as expected. This eases somewhat the decision who to lead for Spain in Rio between Valverde and Purito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be completely idiotic anyway to let Contador be the leader in a one day race in which Valverde is in the team as well hukbrazil 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
