Loved this quote

It's snowing so much this could be biathlon. If so, can I be shot first?"

Brilliant race, and great to see an underdog come through !!!

The look on Sagans face as he is pipped on the line, priceless

I think he wasn't happy that he was out smarted and sprinted
I wanted Fab or Gilby to win

I watched the whole thing on the SBS stream (even though they have 4 channels at their disposal)

with about 16kms to go SBS started their coverage, i thought "awesome, i'll get to see the last 16kms on the big TV"

nope.

by the time the race had finished on the stream and they were still showing their pre-race preview etc etc etc.

absolutely ridiculous, they have 3/4 channels at their disposal, at one time they were show the same documentary on SBS HD, SBS ONE and SBS TWO when they could have been showing the race live.

great finish though, i'm glad i persevered.

[vander]

SBS were showing it from about 120km to go I watched about 30km of that then couldnt watch anymore needed to sleep.

[MichaelB]

I had a couple of naps, but caught the last 50km.

Interesting that Ciolek won in similar circumstances to Gerro, but wasn't portrayed as a their of the stage !

Anyway, congrats to all that finished

[hannos]

I fell alseep with the ipad on my chest. Must remember to not watch the racing lying down in bed

[clackers]

Ciolek played 'em like cheap fiddles!

Good on him, wild card and all ... let those millionaires do all the work.

Note that he wasn't on anyone's wheel in that final stretch ... he put in the big ones to finish!

[jamesn184]

He is a established sprinter/lead out man as Sagan is still young and doesn't have a good kick

[clackers]

He also kept up with Cancellara and Sagan in the descent.

[norbs]

Whoohoo!
