    Watching the side on replay, looks like Cav's rear wheel was bouncing off the ground...

    Good effort :lol:

    I if knew you all loved horses so much I would post them more often, along with the giraffes, elephants and tigers.

    Hope you enjoy the spectacular later. I sure am excited to see what they will do.

    Good lad.

    That was the most exciting sprint finish since the 2011 worlds IMO

    Seriously on Nos you'd have thought it was two guys talking about the weather....

    See? Greipel is not afraid of Cavendish. Just like it says in the cycling mag.

    Did Cav hit a pothole just before the finish? His bike did jump a bit on the slo-mo

    OPQS fell apart on Place de la Concorde

    They went a little to early, burned up everyone before the home straight, Steegmans needed to be there still.

    Will Cav have a big kick up at OPQS now? Especially if they sign GC guys? Argos performance was like HTC with Renshaw and Cav.


    Great sprint, Cav definitely lost wheel

    Why would he be afraid of him?

    I don't want to take anything from Kittel or ASM, but THAT!

    How can a classics team struggle so much to put a lead out together, when you compare that to what Sky "scraped together" out of a GC team last year you do have to wonder....

    When I organise the route we will be starting with a Friday night prologue on the Champs Elysees.

    Not for the first time I have to say that IMHO it was a bad idea to have the last stage at night.

    Well.......yeah.......I have to agree........

    Cav? Will he have the grace of a good loser? Remember Kipling's words.

    Why?

    No lights? They don't usually race at this time of night? They've had all day presumably doing nothing much? A stunt to please the crowds which does not suit the actual riders?
