    A fine gallop, but why does he appear to be drawing attention to what looks like a pee-stain in his shorts?

    Is it just me or do a couple of the Astana domestiques look huge - there were two riding on the front in the early stages on Wednesday and Thursday's stages that were built like prop forwards / linebackers. Looked really out of proportion to the other riders round about them.

    Loved the dual lead outs on either side of the road - brilliant finish

    That was a great sprint by Cav - thought he'd gone from way too far out but he kept pulling away from Boonen all the way to the line. 8)

    How cool was the "battle of the lead-out trains" as well. Cervelo got roasted.

    The lead out train "drag race" (as the commentators on the live feed called it) was pretty impressive. God those guys were travelling in the last few kms. It was good to see Big Jens at the front for a bit but it was never going to stick.

    I didn't see the stage. How did Horillo end up third among all the sprinters? Final km attack like the day before?
