Nice gesture by Wiggins there leading out Edvald.

At least 1 Sky rider got actually worse at something. EBH got absolutely raped. |

Edvald was forced to go too early, but nevertheless, that was epic racing from Wiggins, just because he did it.
Nice to see Greipel win once again, surprised he was that well positioned over Saint-Clair. |

That was such an incredible final 25km. Once again the flat stages prove more exciting this year.

Well, it was a fun stage after all. Shows flat stages can be good if they're something other than a pan flat borefest.

Few for metres and Peter got that.Still nice second and more points, Greipel with perfect timing and Sky with perfect leadout for him

Nicely done Greipel. 
I actually found this more enjoyable than any mountain stage so far.

I think it is days like this where Sagan shows a slight lack of experience. He didn't lunge until he was just past the line, whereas Greipel timed his perfectly and that's what won it for him.

So i assume the green jersey will not be won in the office right? If Peter will make it to Paris, the green will be well deserved and not won because of Goss point deducation yesterday.

Absolutely true, he has to learn still

Apparently Wiggins is not only the best climber and time trialist, he is the best leadout man now.
Nice job in 4th for Hinault. Where was Gallopin?

Doesn't look very promising for Cav ahead of the Olympics. Greipel looks far superior to him on the climbs at the moment.
