    Eurosport cut out before the team classification presentation....................oh wait. 8)
    Could be some very nice podium pictures, I think. :wink:

    Enjoyed this year's Vuelta. Yesterday's stage was epic and delighted to see Cav win the points jersey although it seemed a bit of an anti climax with him not winning today even though he was maybe hoping for Goss to take it.

    According to Velonews, Cavendish broke a spoke in the last 5k and struggled to stay in the sprint!

    i just read that too but don't believe it. Doesn't look like that was the case from the replay. Still looks like he tried to gift the stage.

    I'm not so sure that he didn't have a mechanical, he didn't seem to have his usual surge of power!

    Bike racing wouldn't be the same without the excuses.
    If the plan was for a win for Goss it would have been interesting to see Cav do the leadout.

    But Chav always has to blame someone else:"Farrar should have noticed". What the heck does that mean? So he notices? Does he look over and say "hey Chav let's divert to the local Evans so you can book your bike in and meanwhile we'll put the sprint on ice till next Tuesday when it's done?"
    If he showed the wheel to journalists which is what CW claims, I couldn't see any pictures. (Really just want to check whether it's a Hed or a Zipp).
    When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.

    It's a Zipp.

    Given Cavs rather unhappy relationship with wheels this year, perhaps a change would be in order?

    Cavs magnanimity in victory during the Vuelta was obvious. His grace in defeat still needs a little work.
