A hard day on the bike there to put it mildly - everyone looked destroyed by the end, savage conditions. I guess you never 100% know if you'll have the legs for the sprint after 61/2 hours in the pouring rain - Pedersen did and Trentin didn't. Looked like Trentin made the jump and was then just empty. Awesome win for the Dane at 23 yo.
Learning experience for MvdP - failure is the best schoolmaster. A double leg puncture as Boardman said on the commentary, and Sagan referred to some people being too confident going up the road. He will be back.
State of some of those BBC interviews afterwards - I get that it's not always the easiest thing to do but Tao GH was nearly slurring his words he was that shattered, wrap it up man.
