And in third or fourth year, TdF win is expected.

Well, something close to that for Dombrowski's level of talent. Top 5's or close I'd expect.
This guy destroyed Aru in his home race last year at Baby Giro.
And beat lots of pros in the American races with great results. The guy has some potential let's say.

Why do ToS stages start and finish so much later. They seem to start when most the european stages would normally be ending.
I'd guess TV, but then if that was the case i'd expect far more races to be on that time schedule. |

About comparing to Merckx, the only person that comes close is Marianne Vos. Naming anyone else would be insulting.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Alakagom maybe ur right and im been way harsh on him.
Kumazan I read somewhere he was suppose to be Team Sky leader for this race so I was expecting a lot from him and didnt knew he crashed twice yesterday, thats explains a lot.
Spilak23 i expected Dombrowski to perform like Quintana in his first year in the World Tour. |

After letting Vrecer take a very long turn he attacks him. |

Good win by Demare.
And Goss seems to be back from disastrous Giro.

Arnaud Demare looks to have gotten the win just in front of Goss, with Farrar third. |

Démare! Being first going into that corner was very important and he did it just perfect.

Top leadout OGE. What a ballsy ride from Demare, shoved it up the inside line and held it to the line. Goss brilliant at the end, but just 20 metres to short. |

Looked like an extremely technical finish. Impressive job by Demare.

Tale of 2 sprints - the sprint for the corner Demare nailed it, the sprint for the line Goss nailed it, turns out the corner was marginally more important 
Great win for Demare who is having an excellent season. |

I'm glad that nobody crashed with such a dangerous finish. What kind of organisation comes up with the idea to put the finish line 150 m after a corner on a narrow road, when there's a 95% chance on a bunch sprints. Some terrible accidents could've happened as you see how Farrar and Démare nearly collided in that corner, and some other rider of OGE almost took out some other riders.

Yeah, but Farrar had to brake a little to avoid crashing with Démare, he lost a lot of speed in that corner. |
