completely agree with this... Kristoff was far more honest.
although I prefer to see Sagan win it having initiated the move, he was really in a bind tactically....did as well as he could. Too bad Bora doesn't have a few dudes who can hang. They seem to be all spent just getting him to the last 60k of a race, then he's on his own. Sky looked like they had 5 or 6 guys at the base of the Poggio. I'm a fan of all three of those guys.
I think Sagan was smart to attack when he did and not try to save it for the bunch sprint. too much a crap shoot in MSR.
What a great finish.
