In WVA's interview (on ITV?) he said he stuck to the right-hand side, and he didn't think anyone COULD come round on his right. This suggests a couple of things:
- he's deliberately riding with a bit more of a safety-first mentality than many sprinters. And
- if he had stuck like glue to the right for another 10metres, Sagan wouldn't have been tempted to start the Shaganigans*, and maybe WVA would have gained a place?
Anyway, an interesting bit of aggro to entertain us, no-one hurt, and the Green Jersey battle has got a LOT more spicey.
Allons-Y!
