    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.

    Well I watched exactly 30 seconds of that race from in front of the telly. The Sporza dudes need to raise their voices more in the last kms, I nearly missed it.

    Well done Cav. :D

    Think there are more people watching here than in the last 200m. Bit surprising for a GT.
    Overhead made it look like quite a long one for Cav.

    Hunter should STFU. Such a big mouth and no results. The Androni rider went a little wide but not too bad.

    Bouhanni rides wheels beautifully. Overhead was great. No panic at all when he got blocked several times.

    Great win from Cav. A little easy coming straight off the front but still.

    Did Goss make an official press release to ask for Harley to be introduced to his name? Everyone seems to be doing it now.

    Like Cav's kit car analogy,"i'm the exhaust..the bit on the end that makes the most noise"!

    Good to see him dedicate the win the WW.

    Huh? did you not catch what he did?

    Android sprinters certainly are a law unto themselves. Gavazzi pushed a Lotto guy out of the way and took a sling shot off Hunter. Not bothered about "Robbie" in the slightest, during interview.

    Cav did are rather nice interview in Italian for Rai.

    OPQS got that very right. Argos got that very wrong.

    Was there another large crash about 200m from the finish today? Looks like it on Rai`s after show.

    I didn’t notice Gavazzi, but didn’t Nizzolo push himself, at Trentin’s expense, into the Omega train?

    Good work by Cavendish, and by Omega and also FDJ (for Bouhanni’s 4th), both teams did most of the front work today, mostly into a headwind.

    Argos and Degenkolb were too early up front, leaving Degenkolb to the wind too far out, Viviani lost his lead-out man, so considering that did okay in the end.

    I too also liked Cav’s go at Italian in the RAI interview, decent enough for what was asked.

    You must have been watching a lousy feed.
    No crash at all.

    LOL at Robbie Hunter. Suddenly looks around at his arm, does a wtf? and appeals to the crowd.
    Meanwhile, Gavazzi has shot out of the sprint group at 45 degrees, a la Ferrari.

    Cyclingnews has him in red. He needs to pick up points on stages like tomorrow if there is any hope of him keeping it.

    With the sawtooth profile tomorrow think he might struggle to pick up the TV points & guess as they are towards the end unless his team kill themselves to keep it all together in the last 1/3 of the route he might also struggle at the end too.

    ^ Is an awesome profile for racing. And a complete nightmare for PTP. I'm on my second transfusion and we're not at the first rest day. Jings.
