This is what Dombrowski said:
"It sounds stupid to make into the break on the climb and then get dropped on he flat but that's what happened," Dombrowski told Cyclingnews post-stage.

The intermediate sprints should be very competitive with the guys chasing red. I expect Eurosport will go for commercial breaks about 3Km out and then tell us who got the points.

Yesterday, I noticed that many of Eurosport's commercial breaks seemed to be synchronised with Rai (once coverage had started on Rai's main channels and not only Rai Sport), so I wonder if it's entirely Eurosport's choice.The intermediate sprints should be very competitive with the guys chasing red.

He did. But at the time the commentators were sure he was being called back. I guess they couldn't believe he lost the wheel so easily...

Well, the sprint teams screwed that one up, didn't they? Well done Roger Kluge!

Can't believe his DS didn't tell Moser that Trentin was coming, but I guess he was stuffed either way. If he'd gone long Brambilla would have had a tow to the line.
Edit. Moser just said on TV that he didn't know Trentin was that close, so he must have unplugged.

With the team car a long way back (behind Rovny who got it a bit sideways in the narrow streets which are probably not great for TV or race radio reception either) and then shunted down the deviation, I'm not sure the DS would have had chance, plus I'm not sure Moser would have heard the DS easily over a crowd going nutty over three Italians chasing a stage win. Another surprising stage finish, though!

True enough. Brambilla seemed to know he was coming though.

Or he was just less worried about it, given that he was from the same team.
Great finish, anyway.

Just watched the highlights, I thought I had mis-read the result. Great finish. It's been an enthralling race.
