As that sprint started I was expecting more from Sacha Modolo - he's won a lot of minor races and stages, clearly has the ability, and he got himself in the perfect position on Cav's wheel, but he just didn't have the power. He's improving all the time though.

Delilah looked underwhelmed though!

It's the main contenders for the GC only, with their time gaps.

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I have to say, I thought Cav had gone too early today, so too the commentator. It looked as if the Sky train is now a reality but I think they've got a lobit of work to do unless they want to rely on Cav himself, more and more.

As for that man Taylor Phinney, he's one hard bastard but I felt sorry for the guy after yesterday. BMC should have been up there and just weren't in that TTT due to looking after him, making sure he kept up. Hoogerlandian efforts from the fella...

And my God, Cippolini makes some gert lush bikes.

Yeah, I thought Goss was going to pip him on the line but my god, that was the sprint of a true world champion. When you saw the overhead cam view, he was actually a lot further ahead of Goss than it seemed from the front-on view.

They're both clearly a class apart from the rest of the field though.

Cav did a good job in holding off Goss and it was even more impressive when you think of the injuries he is carrying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may need Flying Monkey, my translation man, to do his work on this bit for me.
