Meh, not the day for Dan or any of the other Garmin or Irish boys. At least Andy and Rohan showing something in the break.

Purito 
Finally he does what is expected from him. Great to have the WC in my team.
Czech Republic and Kakhi did also allright. |

Comprehensive report there, Shonak. Great to see the favourites fight it out with many different tactics on show, Ollfardh may be a big stung that no EPIC regen finished right up there at the end. Anyway Have yourself some ...

Fuck all the haters. Cadel is a god.
Gilbert's FTR stat is too high for races like this, it basically means he's stupid and thinks with his thighs, which isn't good in a 250km+ hard race. Still, a podium's a podium and at least he has the Belgian NC to wear next season now.
As for USA, Talansky with a great ride, showing serious guts and Horner making it to the end before he has to be back at the home, which is nice. I was told by a reliable source that Pate would have been able to win this race so I'm very disappointed with his performance.
Finally, good to see Thor hitting the deck to ensure that people still laugh at BMC despite it being a race where there is no BMC.
Thanks for the reports Shonak, no surprise they were magnificent.

While I like that Sagan takes initiative, he should really conserve his energy more. Still, 2nd is very good, considering he has to do everything alone.
Italy was quite anonymous, had expected more.
Evans must be quite sad there wasn't 1 more rider in the final group. 
Great report once again Shonak.

Sorenson in the break for Denmark, that's allright
Poels finished right behind him for Vaconsoleil.

Costa a little disappointing that he didn't make any attacks but 7th isn't too bad.
Ruibiano in 74th for Columbia.
Birt in 89th which was pretty much expected against the opposition but at least he finished.

Albasini best in 42nd.. didn't hope for much, didn't get much.
But Zach Bell almost 1h in arrears is quite funny.
