Breathless finish! I didn't know who to watch then. Poor Eddie. Well done to Demare for getting through that tiny gap without injury, thought he was a goner.

I had a sharp intake of breath as Demare went for that gap.

Just shows how important the mental aspect of sprinting is. A lot of people in the peloton, let alone us proles, would have just though 'nope, not today', but I guess going for it anyway despite the obvious risk is what gets you the reward. Or 2nd place.
