I agree Greipel is slightly faster than Henderson, but this sprint was chaotic and he got boxed in. With a proper lead-out from sky, i think he has a good chance of winning some stages
Cardoso can't compete in the sprints (he's on the level of a Viganò or so in terms of speed), but he can climb, so when the other sprinters get dropped....
And since this was an uphill finish...
Still odd of a sprinter to attack, but I guess he felt he couldn't compete with Greipel and co. in a straight sprint.....which is right, he can't.

Peter Sagan is one of the biggest talent in cycling today. He had great results as junior in almost every cycling discipline. He is junior WCH in MTB, 2nd in junior WCH in cycylocross and 1st in European CH.

Please notice neo-pro Peter Sagan in 4th, really impressive for the young lad.
Great work by Cardoso, beating people such as Piti or Evans, he did a very powerful attack. Nice to see someone other than Greipel winning a stage, and also to see Sagan up there.
reading a footon rider has won i was happy to see one less footon jersey the next stage but then i saw the first pictures and realized cardoso is the champion of portugal
but i´m happy piti didn´t take the win and the the milram-riders were strong today
