    I so want Cav to do this - if Blythe is there for a sprint he has every chance too surely. Just need those Belgians and Italians to keep each other in check!

    All ok. My chain was off so I couldn't pedal.I tried to get out of the way but when it's going so fast can be hard to react.

    are larger riders at a disadvantage riding in the heat over such a long distance? You know the old surface area vs volume ratio which applies to animals?

    Who's the smallest rider in lead group? Viviani?

    Oh I missed the water spray. Nice to know the heat effects him so little that he has water to waste.

    May I also remind you all that Degenkolb is a policeman. Hmmmm, anger issues. What a Degenknob.

    They should have put more barriers up to hold the crowds back a bit, DANGEROUS!

    I wouldn't underestimate Blythe. He could follow an attack and sit on. Cav doesn't need a lead out from a small group
