    Big props to Bora - really grabbed this stage by the neck and given it a shake. Sagan normally delivers on a day like this.

    Think the peloton may have miscalculated here... looking like they’ve woken up, this is going to be close

    Love it! Wanty's Taco takes the win... excellent!

    You could see his legs were so heavy with 2km to go, and he just kept on pushing. Incredible.

    Van Der Horn manages to get Wanty's first win in style and drops an F bomb for good measure.

    He had a very good classics season in the breaks.

    Another dutchy with weird handlebars too.

    That was a very cool result. (Obviously not for the peloton)

    Great to see Taco’s reaction and the excitement/disbelief on his face.

    Other than Bora none of the teams with a sprinter had enough confidence in their man to get to the end.

    Brilliant stuff

    By the finish line reactions of lots of other riders is Taco the most popular rider in the peloton?
