Great result from Feillu, pity he looked so bizarre as he thrashed at his bike. Is that how he normally sprints? Legs going everywhere!
Congrats to Farrar though, very classy sprint.

Pretty sure he will deticate his victory to Weylandt |

I don't know why it reminded me Chavanel on Flandres 
And nice to see the smile of Hushovd on the slow motion, nice team work by Garmin on the last km.
Team Europcar !!

You could see Martin give Eisel a look as he pulled off. Didnt expect him to be dropping off that early!

It was Thomas > Hagen > Swift. Hagen lost Thomas' wheel - could have worked better than Garmin otherwise.

So now Garmin can focus their attention to Hesjedal (probably VDV in all actuality) in the mountains since they aren't going for the green jersey...

I watched him all the way, after the gap emerged from the Garmin led group he had to go very early and salvaging 5th was the best he could have got from that situation

Swift lost EBH's wheel when that Quickstep rider went to the side. And then EBH lost Thomas before the turn

Well deserved win for Ty. Poor Feillu though, he would really love that win as he is been up there so many times the last several years.

That's how you sprint when you are a normal guy, and your legs are awfully burning xD
And his sprints usally do look like this, unless he has an easy win
