I was surprised how close you get to them.

This is what I'd come to see Cav crossing the line first.

Cav gets it again and with the time bonus he'll likely be in the lead and not be wearing the World Champs jersey tomorrow. Interesting tactic at the finish - he dropped off Luke Rowe's wheel, presumably to give him a chance to take the win and lead of the race but as Rowe was chased down, Cav nipped through for the stage win on the line.
It's funny they have so much control to be able to play around like that.

ITV4 commentators totally lost it on that sprint. The director totally titted it up too. Porter couldn't even manage to do it right during the replays

Hugh Porter, what hasn't been said already about how tired his commentary is ?
I quite like Ned Boulting though - he doesn't profess to be an expert but does ok at continuity and bringing in the expert opinion.

Lost it, got it again.
Question: can Cav choose top wear his WC jersey rather than the GC jersey tomorrow?

Or is there a way he can combine both? WC rainbow on the gold? WC jersey with gold shorts, helmet etc?

Had a trip out to watch the tour go over the top of Shap earlier today. It was very wet and very cold however there was a good crowd and spirits were high! I managed to snap a couple of pics on my mobile phone:

The Leaders come over the top.
