Phinney in Polka Dots, so happy for him
Yeah, after so much bad luck for him in the past it's great to see him kick off his first tour well. Great Prologue and now Polka-Dots, let's see if he keeps going this strong.

If anybody had doubts on the fastest man on the planet, just review the final kilometer and watch from where and how Kittek won this race. Stunning display of pure power.
He only won because Cavendish is not in shape after disease.
Also, Froome crashed. And if Froome started to take flat stages seriously, may god have mercy on those petty sprinters, he would put them to shame!
It's a real shame for Cavendish. Given his form last year, and the sprint friendly course this year, he really could have taken a big step towards Merckx's record of stage wins.
He finished 4th yesterday after 5 weeks of proper training! Maybe he can ride himself into form over the 3 weeks and get a win on the Champs Elysees

Where is shame?
It is miracle he started that race mono virus is terrible one, what can end your career.
And fuck the records and velogames..
Life is much more exiting.

Why bring them up then ?, noone else did.
Ok the records was mentioned - not Velogames.
Yep it was associated with records.
I find it weird that sometimes biggest problem is when velogames team member crashing out, then it's not crash himself but more harm doing that velogames lost a rider.

Yes I can see your point, Velogames might in some situations take some focus away from what is going on in real life. I would personally prefer Nario to beat Froome and spoil my Velogame,
What a powershow from Kittel, coming from far out for an "easy win". If he will not make many mistakes in sprints, he should be unbeatable in majority of those panflat stages, i expect some 5-6 victories for him maybe.
Sagan too early in the lead, somewhat miscalculated badly from BORA...he can have really problems to grab green this year, as he needs podiums in these flat stages.
