    Strange these days where they don't have a single line of riders (arrowhead). They don't seem to work together and prefer to have 2 or 3 teams doing the pulling. Looks like a 4th cat race. :?

    Interesting - OPQS tried to hire Petacchi for Cav's leadout for the Giro. UCI stopped it.

    Could have done with him. Shambles.

    Cav will do well to pull this off.

    That's ridiculously narrow for a GT peloton in full cry.

    That's one of the best sprints I've seen him win. Twice he was beaten in the leadout to the sprint.

    Argy bargy between Bouhani and Blythe.

    Viviani is molto molto p***ed off.

    Had to close the gap and then detour road the Radioshack leadout man, and still won with comparative easy - great sprint Cav!

    That boy is good.

    Think just about everything that could have gone wrong for Cav did go wrong, and then he kicked.

    Two Liquigas, three Oricas, two OPQS, Bouhanni, BMC rider, two RS riders.

    Orica turns the gas and gap Steegmans (apparently gear problems). Bouhanni right on Cav's wheel who has to close the gap solo. Bouhanni and BMC rider shouldering for Cav's wheel. Cav gets swamped by RS rider. Goss goes big Aussie guns but Cav comes round a huge detour to power and take the win with Vivianni close 2nd and Bouhanni who stuck like glue to Cav's wheel got 3rd.

    Talent. Pure talent. Heavyweight.

    Brilliant by Cav... That Viviani is a bit of a Muppet with his banging the bars shenanigans
