Turned out to be a relatively easy win. Well deserved to be honest

Cavendish finishing at 17:40?? I'm assuming he was there but I didn't see the green jersey

Edit: nope, he's still on the road. Cut off is 50 minutes? That seems a lot for today.

I really love listening to Cavendish. He's such an open and honest guy, natural and disarming. Someone you want as your best mate, just from listening to him.

He says this is the hardest, and fastest, tour he's ever ridden. Everyday is like a one day race. Today's stage was apparently a lot harder than it looked on paper.

So Cav in at 00:25:34 and Bouhanni at 00:36:46 .....both OK regarding the time cut.
Morkov and Tim Declercq at the same time as Cav.
I was a bit concerned about BigTim as he was suffering after yesterday's crash. I like seeing Tim ride.... on the front for km after km powering along.

Should suit Carapaz tommorow,four big climbs and at altitude.

I'm always amazed at how Greipel the Gorilla climbs considering his physique.
He still has more pro wins than Cav too

I still like Cav's view on that subject (11 years ago - last sentance). Poo small wins in poo small races

Loved the Reverend Gary's comments on the highlights that Cav's achievement may have been overshadowed in England by the footsie but at least it spares us the sight of Boris in FPKW (or words to that effect).

If I could still climb hills, that final ascent from yesterday's stage would now be very high on my wanted list.

Don't remind me - I have only just got rid of that image in my mind after commentary yesterday!!!

It’s been mentioned a couple of times there could be gravel on the road. Surely with closed roads it could have been cleared?

Boo Hoo Hani , has abandoned...oh dear.....how sad .....never mind
