*Spoiler Giro Spoiler Stage Winner is Named*

Oh Yes Cav Wins!!!!!


The neighbours must have thought I had finally lost the plot. It looked like he had left it too late at one point but boy did he come good.

I was sitting at work, reading it on the cyclingnews website as it unfolded. I had to content myself with a slightly more restrained, "Oh, I say!"

But well done to Cav. This is excellent news.

It was a good win and some of the names that followed him home will no doubt be very aware of him in the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[peejay78]

awesome win. i think they are already aware, i mean, last year he was in blinding form early on, this year he pipped booned to his second scheldeprijs vlaanderen.

And, Keith, it's High Road!

British cycling really is on the up and up.

 

[Steve Austin]

Great win for Cav!!

Anyone know who the last British stage winner was in a major tour, excluding TT's?

David Millar in the TdF?

 

[mondobongo]

Millar took a stage in the Vuelta 2006.

I also vaguely remember that the TdF stage was under the influence maybe.

For anyone who missed it live, (like me :/ ) the video on www.steephill.tv (Giro D'Italia section, Ultimo Kilometro) shows the sprint pretty well.

If we say "Millar" then we're covered!

Millar D. not R in todays breakaway. 5+ mins up with 4 others but unlikely to stay away on a flat one.

 

[rich p]

Millar and co still 2 mins up with 6k to go
