Good for Bora. He did a lot of work for Sagan in Classics and deserves this success. |

Wow, amazing ride by Pöstlberger, used the kinda technical last kilometer and the lack of helpers perfectly.

Indeed these technical corners messed up classic sprint.
Nothing bad there. Hugh crashes avoided. |

Sam Bennett's face when crossing the line was so funny  |

What a start for Bora Hansgrohe, with no Peter Sagan in the line-up.
ALL jerseys on the first day.... amazing.
How will the DS handle this ??

Definitely can understand that. It's always great to aim ambitious!

NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ewan was the fastest by more than a bike length, but Edmonson was the only one left with 1.5km and no-one helped. Postlberger made a smart move which was in first for Bennett to lead-out, but soon got away. He rode away with great strength and even with a great sprint by Caleb had enough to celebrate 30m before hitting the line. Magnificent win, but I am disappointed with the other lead-out trains especially ettix who were touted to be the best with richeze and gaviria, but the technical finish got them. DAMN IT! |

That might be one of the most fricking impressive flat stage wins I've ever seen. He just rode them off his wheel and kept going into a headwind. What a boss. Awesome finale.

5th in E3, you need a big engine for that. If he keeps developing, Sagan will finaly have a useful teammate next year.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Really impressive from Pöstlberger. When he got that first small gap after the turn I thought nothing off it but he maintainted that gap and after the next turn(s) he went full gas and I though that while it was ballsy, it was futile but damn...
A bit sad for old man Greipel but..
All in all a dramatic Giro kick off.
Late attack with a suprise winner. First time loses. Good start.
On a Ralph Denk bashing side note: Pöstlberger a young man from their own ranks not some team within the team tinkoff rider or some washed up British Postal guy. |

Is Astana going on the attack today, maybe a Jesper Hansen stage? |
