Peter Sagan finished today 2nd despite doing everything possible and impossible in the leading group to reach this magic 100th win, but Lars Boom was the smartest in the final km...

 

and Sagan´s reaction ?  "I am young and beautiful, so everything is OK."

Not sure if it's the same for all European countries, but here Eurosport 1 is showing the 1st stage of the Tour de l'Avenir, the stage race for the world's very best talents  

 

Kristoffer Halvorsen is the main sprinter, 20-year old Egan Bernal of Colombia, who has had a very impressive season already, is the huge favourite for the GC win.

The African Team, Dimension Data, has signed Julien Vermote (BEL) from Quick-Step. Bad loss for them, Vermote has done some absolutely monstrous work during the Tour de France at the front of the peloton.

 

Dan Martin moves to UAE.

Kasper Asgreen wins the first stage, I see potential for yet another Danish talent who'll quickly disappear into nothingness when he's not in the U23 categories anymore
