Phil Gaimon and his buddies are pretty cool btw, running around dressed in giant cookies on all the big climbs

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  (while Kristoff could not pass Rick Zabel by the way, interesting, since Zabel was supposed to be Kristoff's lead-out  )

So you dare to suggest that Kittel is better?

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

 

(not just Kittel by the way)

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

 

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

So how come did he become World champion at those big hills of Doha?

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

 

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

That would be absolutely briliant.
