    Yeah it adds a bit more interest halfway through a stage. Better than the previous format where the sprints were routinely ignored.

    Holy crap... Sorensen gets a hook from the moto... that could've been nasty.

    if that sprint stands then Cavendish has every reason to feel its personal.

    Commissaires will be having a word with Sorenson. Obvious tow from the moto.

    I'd disagree with the "pettiness" aspect. Its all very well until someone hits a rider or spectator because they were trying to simultaneously watch TV, use the radio and phone Dr. Ferrari.
    Vaughters tweeted yesterday how he'd hit 3 cars during the course of the stage (probably while he was tweeting)
    'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'

    Not a fan.

    They should combine the combativity award with intermediate sprints and a red jersey. It might not gives fans a random sprint in the middle of the race, but it would reward those that try in breaks.

    They should introduce the Catch Sprints jersey again :-)

    ... on a separate note, its quite surprising that the sisters have not been involved in a crash yet

    I've got to go out for an appointment at 4.45 so that little speed up was very handy for me :)
