    Blimey – anyone see this on Eurosport? What a descent.

    Possibly one of the most scary passes I’ve ever seen. Damn they earn every penny when they do that.

    descending like that must be as hard/similar to nailing some techy single track

    good descent – he was correcting it in a number of bends.

    Good ride from Sagan but I do think he is a little too good to be true.

    The motorbike behind Cunego was ridic

    scarier, it’s the acceleration that gets you, as soon as you are off the brakes you just plummet. found in the pyrenes on a loaded tourer that about 45mph and above it just gets terrifying. far more scared than any techy exposed alpine stuff i’ve ridden

    never tire of watching that

    best bit at 3.34 where the car nearly has him and he is leaning it at a ridiculous angle

    always remember Sean Kelly’s 60 mph descent down the poggio to catch Argentin and win Milan San remo.

    I have to say i like that stage a lot. Mainly has to do with having cycled it 2 years ago. Admitedly not nearly as fast! 😯

    Great stage. Sagan was much more in control than Cunego on the descent, plus Sagan pulled back time on Cunego to bridge the gap.

    If “ridic” is ridiculous MW, you’re absolutely right. Far too close.

    Don’t matter what sport you do – if you’re trying to go one better than a rival it’s bloody hard. Congratulations due to Bradley Wiggins too for winning the Dauphine Libere – that boy can handle his bike as well if you’ve ever seen him riding a Madison with his ‘best mate’ Mark Cavendish.
