    WOW!
    That was absolutely savage. Can we have a world road race champs in Berne some day.
    And looking there closely, was that Sam Bennett again, just outside the top 10????

    Where was Quintana? He musta been buried underneath all those rouleurs and lanky classic riders, about eye level with their arses! No sign of him

    Tony Martin, what a beast:

    "Martin went into long-distance individual time trial mode, doing all of the work with Alaphilippe in tow. The German was too strong even for four men to bridge across, and the quartet were swept up by the peloton finally after dangling in no-man's land for the better part of 80km."

    After all of Tony Martin and Julian Alaphilippe's hard work in their breakaway, they ended up finishing last!

    And Sam Bennett was back to familiar surroundings.... 179th :(

    At this stage, the balance on his bike probably doesn't feel right without the lantern rouge hanging off the saddle :D

    After the start he had, I think a finish will be a tremendous achievement.

    ...and if he gets the Lantern Rouge, along with it will come lots of lucrative invites to post-Tour criterium events.:)

    What a beautiful town at the finish there. Really picturesque.

    Great last 5km. Great finish from Sagan. Legend
