Nice sprint from Meersman.
Who was the BMC rider who thought that they could lead out the peloton for 700 metres there?

Impressive sprint! Great how he defeated those pure sprinters!
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Well that was a bit disappointing from Goss in the end. Chapeau to Gianni Meersman and OPQS though, a well deserved victory from the bunch sprint. |

I saw some riders short-cutting about 20km before the finish (stupid me for not writing down the distance). I think it was a parking of a restaurant, so no big deal. How much short-cutting is allowed? |

If it was in the sprint, probably stuff would happen. |

What do you mean? They rode through a carpark to cut across a corner?

Good win for Meersman. Nice sprint by Nizzolo who had to do two sprints at the end. One to get better positioned and once again to follow Meersman. |

Rui Costa one of the best all-arounder of the peloton  |

True. Risky though trying these sprints just to get Top10. |

Isn't risky, because Rui can get Top5 or Top-3, but he can win the points jersey. He can sprint in smaller groups and get points. The Tour de Romandie is a hilly/mountain Tour and because of that the best sprinters don't win stages. |

You don't think Meersman, Nizzolo, Ferrari, Goss, etc are real sprinters?

I said best sprinters, Goss is one of them, but with this stages Rui can win. Meersman is a good sprinter but in a smaller groups. Nizzolo needs to improve and Ferrari can do good results. |

Just watched it now. Nice work by Meersman to find a way through. Goss was in a similar position going in to the last 300m and had a gap down the left but obviously had nothing there.
