Second in stage 1 behind Kittel, but the 3rd stage was a semi-uphill sprint finish so Kittel was far in the back and Sagan won :p (while Kristoff could not pass Rick Zabel by the way, interesting, since Zabel was supposed to be Kristoff's lead-out :lol: )

In a flat sprint where it's mostly about pure top speed, absolutely :p 

 

(not just Kittel by the way)

Well...the formation of this lead group didn't take long :d 

 

Race director waved the flag to show the start, and literally 1 second later Mohoric attacked, 5 seconds later Brutt, Van Zyl and Albanese joined him and within 10 seconds the lead group was gone and away :d

Kittel didn't finish, so that's not a good comparison :p 

 

I still have nightmares about those WCh's, Tom Leezer of all places was so freaking close to an absolutely insane win there :lol::( (imagine the world champion riding around all 2017 carrying water bottles for the big riders in the team :d )

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
