    Cav dropped again today. Majorly on the rivet there.

    He looked like he was really struggling. Another bad start to the season it seems.

    Fabian Cancellara trying to get back after a crash, with the rest of Leopard pushing at the front of the peloton. :roll: I thought they had radios here...

    Cav is back on with just 9 km to go.

    I need some PTP love, so I hope he still has some legs left for today.

    Spoke too soon about Cav. Back near the front with 7km to go.

    I really need Cav to do the business today or my strong early season in PTP is looking doomed!

    Cav is set up for the sprint finish. 4th in the HTC train and on the front with Rabobank, Leopard Trek and Saxobank.

    + Robbie McEwan on his own.

    Hushovd did an amazing job there... Farrar couldn't finish it.

    Cav couldn't keep Renshaw's wheel.

    Haedo.

    Cav obviously didn't have the legs. Faded off Renshaws wheel through the narrowing part.

    Good finish though.

    Think Hushoved went too hard for Farrar? Looked a brilliant move though.

    Cav struggling for form. Will MSR come round too soon for him this year?

    Looks like Renshaw has some serious competition in the lead out stakes from Thor "The God Of Thunder" Husovd and Geraint Thomas "The Tank Engine"!

    Bloody Cav. It doesn't matter if he's out of shape as far as his season goes, but he's royally screwed my PTP this week!

    Geraint Thomas is in Paris Nice. Or is he doing both ?

    I know that! I mean that he's also put in some monster lead outs this week for Henmderson.

    I should've stuck with Farrar, for PTP

    Funky little finish there, will Hushovd be leading out Farrar all season? Or will they alternate? Could be a partnership to rival Cav/Renshaw per'aps

    But Hushoved won't be a lead out man come July. Still take your point though, what a fantastic wing man to have

    Unless his (Hushovd) main priority is Paris-Roubaix and the Worlds this year? But I can't see a rider wearing the rainbow jersey not aiming for stages in the Tour.

    Are these results right?

    1 Juan José Haedo (Arg) Saxo Bank Sungard 4:39:45
    2 Tyler Farrar (USA) Team Garmin-Cervelo
    3 Daniel Oss (Ita) Liquigas-Cannondale
    4 Alessandro Petacchi (Ita) Lampre - ISD
    5 Mark Cavendish (GBr) HTC-Highroad
    6 Robbie McEwen (Aus) Team RadioShack

    Oss 3rd in a bunch sprint? Also thought that was Renshaw in 5th.

    Thor was pretty spectacular; Cavendish looked a little chunky to me. The scales don't lie - as I say every week. :)
