I was hoping for a Yates win, but it was a great race and I watched about 120k: such great country they were racing through, and all those shortish but nasty climbs, and the wind was a huge factor too. Sky were brutal, Kennaugh deservedly getting the combativity prize for doing nothing more than setting a ferocious pace for about 80k. And then when Roche looked the strongest he just didn't look over his shoulder! Gave Voekler a huge head start and the win, but I don't begrudge him that: he rode a brilliant race, a huge kick when he saw Nordhaug trying to bridge and getting close may well have been a decider.
More parcours like this please.
