Tour de France Stage 3 "SPOILER"

[perplexed]

Only a couple of kilometres to go...

F*ck, this is fast...

Farrah in the end!

Cav 5th I think...

Everything went completely wrong there for HTC at the end. They did everything too early...

Circumstances forced them into it.

Garmin very strong this year - nice win for Farrar that.

 

[woohoo]

Thor & Cav DQ'd from intermediate points according to this

Confirmed here. Bad day at work for Cav. He's clearly got the form though.

Now that, that is just a silly decision.

+1 rediculous
Thor leaned on Cav, Cav bangs his head at him to say watch out. That's what sprinters do. No one's hurt, no one's injured and minutes after Thor and Cav were chatting together.
Elf'n'safety creeping into pro cycling.

Does Geraint Thomas have it in him to become a good climber? He's looked strong so far and coming upto the sprint looked to have a bit left. Potential GC contender in future years?

If quality sucks, just refresh.

They will be deducting points for excessive acceleration next. What a bunch of numpties. I've seen worse than that on a Sunday morning club social run.

 

[iAmiAdam]

So, they've enforced the saddle angle rule, trying to ban radios and bumping about in sprints makes racing boring apparently. They need to sort themselves out.

Good win for Farrar so he and Garmin will be very happy tonight. A mix up by HTC meant that Cav didn't really have a good chance to challenge for the win and that coupled with the DQ will not have left him in a happy frame of mind for this day.

Joke decision, almost as if they would like to make sure the green jersey comp stays wide open.
