    That's probably the biggest positive for Sam now today... that at most he could lose 30 points to Sagan. Luckily it's not 50

    Sam gone out the back now

    Sunweb are great craic, firing 3-4 people into breaks, or putting the whole team as a sprint train to finish 14th o

    There's enough people up ahead to look like the winner won't come from that group, plus still a Cat 2 climb to come

    He can't chase another Sunweb rider.

    And in case it does come back, he should keep his powder dry.

    I'm torn - want him to keep driving so as many of that group stay ahead of the peleton to minimise Sagan's points gain but Hirschi deserves the win.

    Looking like 11 may stay ahead of the main group until the end which is fantastic

    Agreed... I think we are going to get the result we want... I say Sagan was pretty tried as well, even if they got him to the line he wouldn't be up for much...

    Finished at the head of the peloton - 12th?

    I make it 5 points, which means all his effort was to pull back 3 points total on Sam. Good result

    13th for Sagan, 4 points at the end closes the gap on Sam by 2 from yesterday.

    So Sagan got 4 points on the line so he gained 2 back on Bennett overall today.
