Le Tour Stage 6 - **Spoiler**

[CotterPin]

no mercy is there?

never a truer word :-(

That looked like such a tough sprint in. fantasy points thanks to Hushovd

 

[I am Spartacus]

oh well .. but Millar deserves a stage win I hope another time.. did Cav get any points at all today?

 

[karlos_the_jackal]

Doesnt look like it, not in top ten. Evans did a good ride.

 

[dellzeqq]

Sad - but I reckon he'll give it another go.

 

[biking_fox]

did Cav get any points at all today?

TdF shows him at 106, vs Husvod at 105 !

So he must have done for something or other?

ETA: according to the BBC. Cav finished 16th, and so just gained enough points.

 

[CotterPin]

So two riders within a whisker of each other for yellow AND two riders in the same state for green!! This is proving very interesting

And when Astana say they have 4 leaders, they're not wrong. Position 2 through 5 of the GC are theirs

Err, they won the TTT....so not unusual.

correct.

How gutting for millar, he ended up 1m 21" down today as well after all that effort. Dropped from 10th to 20th in GC

 

[ComedyPilot]

Well gutted for Millar, but showing promise isn't he. Wiggy is now top Garmin man, static @ 38'.

Cav did what he had to, and will need to hang in now the road goes skywards.

LA, Bertie and Astana looked solid on the road.

Feel for Boonen though, that fall looked painful.

 

[Cathryn]

GUTTED for Millar. What a star, I so wish he hadn't looked round because the minute he did, he just faded. Poor bloke!

 

[Chuffy]

Bugger. And not just because he's in my team. Mind you, our cat is pleased because if Millar had won he'd have been catapulted off Baggy's knees and into the fireplace.

 

[Crackle]

Great effort but he looked tired before the hill, incredible he lost over a minute over a K and a bit.

Hushvod looked strong, I favour him for green over the whole tour, not convinced yet Cavendish will finish. And we saw a couple of Frenchmen out there too, with Auge KOM for the mo anyway.

Every stage has been interesting so far. Cancellera was being cagey about his chances in the mountains but the TOS is one thing, Le Tour another. I'll be surprised if he's within a minute of tomorrows winner.
