Stage 1 Results

With 50 picks, Sagan ended up almost as strong a favorite today as Cancellara was yesterday, and he delivered the 4 points safely. Best scoring rider today was in fact Cancellara - not considered a top favorite on todays finish with 7 picks. But his strong attack as the climb eased off in the last kilometer got him second place for 8.4 points.

No fewer than 15 of our DS's picked 3 scoring riders, but the stage win goes to agl who swept the podium - that was the best possible score in the game today.

Jut just ahead of agl on the overall is our new casquette jaune, It333.
