Tour de France 2013 *spoilers*

There's a lot of arm waving and glaring at each other up the front of the peloton today

Especially pointless, since he must have been around 20th position... he wasn't going to get very close to Cav anymore

Even further back than that I think. That was Kreuziger's point about being too far back to have any meaningful chance of a successful sprint.

Kessiakoff out.

 

[raindog]

nice riding by Cav....

especially as there wasn't a single team-mate to help him

 

[The Couch]

Things looking better for the gorilla after the Sagan and Cav energy loss....
Building myself up - so I fall much deeper - if my fool's guess goes wrong

OPQS move up - Cav's stage?

Does anyone know anything about the Cavendish off? He was carrying a bit of road grit on his jersey on the dash back.

Velits fell back and ushered him up

Bouhanni is a danger to everyone in a sprint as has been shown all year.

Bouhanni has abandoned anyway.

 

[Strathlubnaig]

cracking sprint by the big German, he'll be pleased with that team effort.

First African in yellow...have to wait until the results are in.

Fantastic. Daryl Impey's yer man.

Proper exciting finish that. Greipel's sheer power is bloody impressive. I love the way he winds it up like a TGV or something - there's no stopping him once he's in full flight, and his team did a grand job for him. Sagan and Kittel didn't have a chance today. And Cav looked like he didn't have enough left in the tank for that final kick after his chase back.

EBH now second in GC. Up yours, Kimmage!

Why did Cav have to chase back? Something must have happened when I was on my commute home
