Was that a sarcasm? I'm not watching so far so I wouldn't know.

 

The first sentence was sarcasm, the second wasn't  

 

Although it does have it's charm, racing over some old, half-broken roads through the desert, it's like they're in Mordor or something

Such an exciting race through the desert so far. Come on, let's get the wind going and make space for the Dutch/Belgian specialty, echelons 

 

Denmark's pretty Good at it as well!

Ouch, that was a painful fall by Mezgec, hitting an Aussie rider from behind.

Michael Kolář had some issue with jis back wheel, ofc the guy of the neutral shimano car tried to help him but this was just a disaster ! I´m trying to find a pic or so ..he literrally lost his screwdriver during the attempt to fix it...and Kolář still in technical troubles, he is the last mate of Peter in the group

UCI commentator just said "the team of Peter Sagan - the Slovenians".

Oh well, it's Sagan..I mean, he doesn't need the help of someone like Kolar, he'll just find his way in the sprint like always

I'm watching Belgian TV by the way and it looks like Belgium has already won. If the group stays ahead, Stuyven will normally win the sprint and if the group doesn't stay ahead, there's no doubt that Boonen is the absolute huge favourite and nearly impossible to beat in the final sprint.

 

Spoiler

Well that's according to the Belgian TV, they're so annoying  but the Dutch commentators are as bad..
