Bouhanni went way too early but he held his speed incredibly well.
Nice win for Degenkolb.

Swift overhyped or just not in shape? |

Very strong sprint by Degenkolb. He's clearly dominating the sprints so far, well done.

You compare Morabito to race leader and contender. Please.
Are Morabito or Gerdemann somehow lesser cyclists? Does Valverde have more rights than them? Of course not.
What do you mean by "lesser cyclists"? Talent, capability and chances in this race wise? Yes, they are.

If liquigas would/will give him some help, Viviani could have/will win a stage. I mean, what are they, all in for Cappechi?

Swift once again unable to keep up with the other sprinters. Really disappointing in this race to be honest.

I mean lesser cyclist win the same sense as blacks were lesser men in South Africa during the apartheid.

Amen brother, and you don't get much better support from your team than what he got this stage. |

Degenkolb, or Djejinkolb like our commentator says, is really a monster  |

Yes. Clearly differentiating between GC and non-GC contenders is exactly the same as the apartheid.

But now you're comparing them as a person. Bringing black people rights is all about individual person. But when we compare cyclists it's all about what they do on the road. |

It's not that you missed the point, but you didn't even come remotely close to it. I just used that reference to explain what I meant by "lesser cyclist", that's it.
