But that is what happens if you get caught in the pack - you stay shielded and start your sprint super late. The guy who launched first is always going to be slowing up at that point. Ewan launched first, no-one could come around, he won. That's it.
Orica leadout looked dialled too, but probably wasn't really any other organised team trying to break it up

Well as a weight weenie I find it unacceptable on behalf of Team Sky!! Do you know which teams have their bikes closer to the limit this year?
Well, for comparison the CN look at Caleb Ewan's tiny Scott Foil with 9070 (practically same weight as 9150) and the same wheels claimed it was 7.35! Which doesn't really compute for me at all, but goes to show that either a) bike check weights can't be trusted at all or b) the F10 really isn't that bad for weight in the pro racing realm.
