....don't think Cav would have been in that very select breakaway. Big well done to both the British winners today.

They're burnt out. The Brits are back!
Froome and Thomas may be faltering, but we've got it covered.

Good.
Meanwhile, I read that the littering penalties have been softened to a "strikes" system i.e. first offence won't be a DQ. (2 strikes for a multis-tage race)

Cav does it again!!! Despite 2 Cat 1 climbs and a finish at 1828m, he makes it 4 in a row.
