It would be neat if Horner can win his first race back, especially with Levi's crashes this week.
And damn, Peter Sagan is a beast.

I was only able to watch the final 25k but I was surprised that Horner didn't have any teammates around him at the very end...and that Nibali was able to score that time bonus.
And regarding Sagan...I remember first seeing him 2-3 years ago on a TOC stage...the one where they did several circuits at the end climbing up to the top of the dam on the reservoir...if I recall, Sagan smashed a bunch of people to take it.

He's done well 2 years in a row at the TOC. Obviously he had team duties today, but I like how he will hang around near the front on climbing stages to see if there might be a group finish instead of dropping back to the autobus with the rest of the sprinters. Guys like him and Boasson-Hagen should hopefully keep the races a little less predictable.

Sagan really gave everything for Nibali, it's always good to see teamwork at its best.

Levi was robbed, think he could have taken back that minimal deficit in the TT and won. Why they would stay put helping a downed rider on the outside of the turn right in the middle of the line, complete lack of situational awareness. And he crashed 2x before that motorcycle collision? Hopefully it'll turn out that he got them all out of the way early in the season.
On a brighter note, I do believe Chris will win tomorrow; he has won individual TTs before. will be tuned in tomorrow!

well 2nd isn't too shabby, being 40 and all and still world class by any measure. Congrats to Horner. It wasn't his ideal TT too flat and short. Tour de Swiss and TDF on the horizon, expecting great things.
