Demare just squeezed Farrar right out of that corner at the last moment. 
What a dirty win, not deserved at all.

Nah, thats just brilliant race craft. Leader takes whatever line he likes as long as he sticks to it. Its probably not clever to put it there in a cycle race, but if its there its their duty to do it. Any of the other riders would have done the same if they got their first.
Its a simple racing move. Its not like he totally parked it on the apex. If there is no room to overtake around a corner, then you have to stick to their gearbox and use their slip to take them on the straight. Replace gearbox with wheel and the same applies XD. |

Everyone is leaning into the corner, and he pops in between Farrar and the barriers, making Farrar straighten back up to avoid him and lose tons of speed while Demare gallops away.

I'd be able to consider your argument if it wasn't for the national bias 
Great win for Demare, shame I bet on Sagan due to head over heart. Anyone know if he's going to the Tour? |

He crashed twice yesterday. I guess he is either feeling effects of this now, or had a crash today ( or just sick ).

Unlucky. Had some good hopes for him for this race. |

I know about my bias, and maybeexaggeratingating, but he really closed him ithat cornerorner. And my bias can be good because I was watching Farrar.

Nice win for Demare, he is becoming one of the best around! 
Today i have high hopes for Sagan, with rolling terrain in last 50k and finish seems a bit uphill on the picture?

Btw. victory on Monday was win nr. 50 in UCI events for Peter! Very fast reached fifty. 
Edit: Also Kreuziger crashed on Monday and bruised his knee and arm, but it seems not serious, as he still was 3rd on that stage.

What the hell? He's just sick (Sagan). Can only hope he doesn't burn out too fast. It's already obvious he won't be cycling on top level until 35 and he might peak earlier than 30-29, but I hope he has many good years left in him, because we've seen it a lot before that they burn hard but burn fast!

Non no. His not sick. Quite the opposite.
With the amount of pharamacuticals in his blood, i think its probably impossible for him to get sick.
Dont get me wrong, fun as hell to watch but his even more likely to be doped then Froome. |

Look at the progression - much more natural than Froome's. Good results his whole life. Not saying I guarantee that he's not doped (in fact, I reckon he probably is), nor that Froome definitely is (though I'm sure enough), but Froome is more suspicious than Sagan.
Although Sagan is from the same country as a scumbag like Avin so I guess you can't trust him to have morals |

Wrong. Nobody is more likely to be doped than Froome. We haven't seen a rise out of absolutely nowhere since.. well since never. |

It is.
I dont think Sagan would've minded another percent or two, but still remains the clear favourite. Should suit Degenkolb extremely well too.
