One shot left for Breschel, but he is gonna do something in Madrid. You can bank on it. And I don't have if he's not a top-notch sprint, bla bla bla, he is gonna be up there.
How's that for a prediction

I truly, honestly have no idea whether you're joking or being serious. if you're being serious, all it takes is showing you some top speeds by sprinters...

Can you honestly say he didn't pull off a great finish today? Did you see the way he did it? When he was about to get boxed in he took it to outside and rode on his own directly into the win, and just plain and simple outsprinted them all. How can you not call that a great finish?

So your definition of a "great finisher" is not someone who's a good sprinter?

It was a great finish no doubt, but that doesnt make him a sprinter.
Also, yes! Contador!

I don't define a finisher to be a good sprinter nessecarily. A good finisher is guys like Cunego, Rebellin and Kolobnev, who can win from a selective group of riders. In thay category Matti is great, but I won't call him a 'great' sprinter. 'Good' on the other hand I won't hesitate to call him.

Okay I don't want to go down this road again, but I think when this whole discussion started off, I did call him a great 'finisher' and not a great 'sprinter'.

I have no idea what thread it was in and I certainly won't go looking for it

Did anyone else see that awesome win by Yanik Talabardon today. The Results acutally say that Breshel made and awesome win.
I thought it was Talabardon
Denmark ftw |

Depending on who you wanna believe, either RodrÃguez got up after the crash and finished the stage thus keeping his GC place, or he did not finish the stage...

Rodriguez indeed finished and everyone finished with the same time so no changes at all.

Does anybody have a link to where i can see the last km's again?
Bleed it out
In the wreckage of a job well done
I saw a place I'd never seen before, yeah
And that moment I refused to close my eyes anymore
