Jumping on the bandwagon here due to Irish interest, so Sam just needs to stay with Sagan here and its basically over?

Pretty much, man mark him until the finish line in Paris and he’s won it.

More or less, if the gap between them after today is 71 points Sagan can't win it even if Sam scored no points in Paris on Sunday.

As is Sagan, but I’m sure Sams happier suffering in Green than team jersey.

Yes I think this might be one for the pure classics men but the Sunweb lad might do
Sam another massive favour like the other day

See Jack Bauer getting a bottle back there from a car which is inside the 20km

Really interesting to see how Sam gets on. Always felt he's had classics potential, given some of the stages he's won in the likes of the Giro and climbs he's got over in the BrinkBank Tour.

It must be messing with his head alright, he knows he can’t drop him, and knows he hasn’t beaten Sam in any sprint so far, so if there are points up for grabs by the end Bennett will be able to pass him

Trentin will have to try something before the end as well

This is a dream situation for Sam. Even if he loses Sagan late on he won't be too far behind

I think Trentin is happy with a podium in Paris - he hasn't really made any major effort to get past Sagan let alone Sam. I'm surprised that Sagan didn't try to let Trentin go and make Sam chase him.

For all the kickings Sam has been getting from Bora in the past fortnight, I think it will make him a better racer.

Yeah, it's a very special jersey win I think. Really earned it.

55 points ahead now with 70 available - top 3 in the intermediate sprint and he can just focus on the stage win then.
