Did they spot it stuck in his facial hair?
That's the trouble with beards. You never know how long that stuff is gonna get stuck in them waiting for the next lick of the chops. Probably on his top lip and dribbled in with the sweat.

Didn't Tom Boonen have the same problem some years ago?
Yes he was, well remembered. It was out of competition though, so no sanction. If Paolini gets a ban that'll surely finish his career now.

Not a bad first week for MTN-Qhubeka, 6 x top 10 places and KOM jersey
They seem to have got the mix of "seasoned pros" and new talent just about right and have had a very good season.

Speculation is that Cav has lost a bit more weight than before. This may mean less power, but be an advantage on an uphill sprint.

That was evident today. Plus he got the timing right.
He may not have the pure speed any more but he still has the killer instinct. Needs a few of attempts to get it right though, which is always going to hamper any green jersey ambitions.

3 separate positives for cocaine!
2, no?
Greipel seemed to get it a bit wrong today, was all out too early in my mind and gave Cav a prime opportunity. Cav timed it to perfection in contrast. Says it seems really, really close between those two these days. That's a good thing, Makes those sprint days much more intriguing.

I think today's stage highlighted something that I have thought for a long time; that "lead out trains" are not required and that the focus on them has spoiled many a stage/sprint over the years.
