Im not sure that either Kristoff or Pozzato had a very good line through there - too close to the inside of the turn, where you needed to have a wider angle from the right hand side of the road.
Yeah, looks like both of them would have struggled with the turn, even if Goss/Nizzolo weren't there. But hard to say for sure, stupid coverage, not catching the moment I was hoping to get a proper replay of

The difference between this crash and the one Ferrari caused is that this was just misjudgment of the corner, at those speeds I would say that is a highly likely thing to occur on a sharp bend like that. A bend like that I think is too dangerous for a mass sprint and we seen to day. Ferrari was just plain stupid in the crash he caused. Crashes like today you seen time and time again in the Tour de France yet no one makes a fuss about them. Just my opinion

The tree was the most annoying, in the overhead replay!

Today it seems like the great finish, tailor made for Purito or Scarponi, but dont forget Kreuziger has beaten them both in similar finish in Chieti this year, just reminder for the people who have tendencies to rule him out of the every competition. 
Edit: Still this is for Purito

We've got you to remind us .
Anyway, will be a very exciting finish, I just hope it will be for the stage win, as the bonus seconds add some extra spice into it.

Yeah apparently he couldn't move the wrist at all, so he had no choice really, pity because he was riding pretty well  |

Hahaha! According to the Norwegian commentators Kreuziger has a huge "crush" on norwegian skier Therese Johaug. He even has a fan-page of her on Facebook.
Well, atleast he has good taste.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"
