    Blimey, Eurosport could've waited for the bunch to finish.

    Nice - Wiggins and Cobo sprinting for it - psychological warfare :)

    Gavazzi ends up in a really scenic bit of Spain, there.

    Ha ha! Spain High Street as my mate who lived there used to disparagingly remark...

    Yep, Noja was destroyed by politicians and crazy building laws in the early noughties. It used to be a beautiful place :(

    To be fair, yesterday's stage went through some beautiful mountain scenery.

    Is that the first recorded incidence of Wiggins ever sprinting? Granted it was for umpteenth place, but it's history in the making neverthe.less

    Yes.
    I have found myself watching more of their coverage, since Eurosport only really care about one race.
    2 days running, they have swopped stations at the last minute.
    Only their commentary keeps dragging me back.
    Fancy not staying to see Wiggins sprinting.
    He could have split the peloton! :lol:

    Oh and Gavazzi was always odds on to win a sprint out of that lot.
    Been shafted by Lampre this season (investigation aside) and given a rubbish race programme.
    One of the best "lumpy" stage riders out there.

    Given that he's no longer Sky's top GC rider, he's wants to be their top sprinter for 2012. Oh, hang on a second......
