    They don't seem to be perfectly drilled, or perhaps that is the other teams being stronger.

    I don't have a good feeling for Cav about this stage personally.


    There isn't a train is there, they are split and spread all over the place it would seem - Cav has two with him?

    I wasn't sure he wanted it enough but he bumped off several riders who tried to take the wheel he wanted. Went long too. Bit of a crash behind.

    Talk about surfing wheels.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    That was a good bit of pressing by Astana.

    Such perfect wheel choice - on Philipsen, then moved his way left, and just went!

    Congratulations to Cav! Kudos to whoever for the bunny hop to avoid making the crash worse.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    The number of people in that peloton rushing up to congratulate him is quite something.
