How is the geography here? We have mountains?

 

Plenty. Right in the middle of the Andes. Tunja itself is 2800 meters high.

What a stage, a break away in the last kilometers with 4 riders including Froome and Sagan  

 

Sagan should ride his ass off for Froome if you ask me and Froome should then of course not attack him in the last meters.

What final  Great win for Sagan. How many win need again the Tinkoff for continue to stay in World Tour?

[hckošice 14,846]

what there more need to say ? Maestro this is what it looks when you make Sagan angry 

 

still can´t believe what just happened in this 100% sprinters stage, Sagan destroying the green jersey competition and yellow and green jerseys both with 1 team mate winning ahead of a peloton. oh dear this is cycling.

The genius of Peter Sagan once again.  The green should be in the bag now.

Same thing for Froome by the way. Taking seconds off of your GC rivals in a flat stage in this way is praiseworthy. 

 

And the finish was 100% as expected once the break away was gone: Sagan working to get the advantage up so Froome could gain time, and in return Froome didn't attack Sagan in the end (even though he probably wouldn't win that anyway, but still)

well Froome attacked him in the finish, when he saw that Sagan wanted to give the stage win to Bodnar, Froome tried it, ofc it´s understandable because there bonifications seconds, but whe Sagan noticed Froomes attempt, he immediately brought him to his senses
