Great win by Cavendish. Good to see him and Wiggins showing their track legs on that short prologue.

    Nuyens surprisingly high up there (7th) - didn't have him pipped as a prologue rider.

    I was going to choose him - And Cav but then decided they couldn't do it. Didn#t Nuyens win a very short TT when he won the ToB?
    Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.

    Yes, but being the ToB, the prologue was actually the penultimate stage of the race :D Birmingham IIRC.

    I might have to get a new avatar ! :o
    "The team is a fine mix of experienced and up-and-coming riders. It is impossible not to win," [Cavendish] said.

    Since he won with 2:07.6 and Bennati was 2:07.87 it seems it's very nearly possible...

    I'm guessing that's an archive photo and he didn't do a victory salute in a prologue :D I hope not anyway...
