    I think Bora used up a lot of riders catching the DQS rider that went early. And sam lost the rest at that roundabout

    Given how strong he was at the end he probably would have won it comfortably if he had stayed left at the roundabout.

    Irishmen in the leaders and points jersey at a grand tour! What a moment.

    Kudos to Jakobsen and the rest of his team. They played the the last 5 km very well

    Maybe Sam will learn his lesson and stop riding 24" wheels and use 700c wheels like everyone else:D

    to be fair, it looks like he actually bent his spokes with the sheer power he was putting out.

    He may have been second and I don't really know what

    is all about but its one of the most powerful sprints I've seen from him. Doesn't look like there is much wrong with his form
