He's hardly Wørld Class.
He's sømewhat decent, if anything.
Next year we'll knøw if he can dø anything against decent fields
I think we've seen his limits. He doesn't believe he has what it takes himself, to do well in real mass sprints.
But against weaker fields and on slight uphill or after a difficult route he can do quite well.

I'm pretty sure that in ToQ type of sprint he wouldn't achieve much. But this type of finish, where's it's more about tactics and positioning, suits him really well.
Daniel Martin unable to close the gap sufficently within the final few hundred metres to pass Intxausti. With David Lopez Garcia and Rui Costa following behind by a few bike lengths.

Great ride by Intxausti! Thought Dan Martin was going to get him but the digging deep made him pop. David Lopez has had a good end of the year, form that missed the tour i guess

Luka Mezgec no longer the next Rojas! He manages to beat Nacer Bouhanni in the sprint to win the fifth and final stage of the 2013 Tour of Beijing. Well deserved.
Marco Pinotti and Juan Antonio Flecha shared the Most Combative Rider award. The Chrono des Nations will be Pinotti's last race, but a nice gesture none the less after they both got in the breakaway.
