Tour of California Stage 5 (spoiler)

[Keith Oates]

A reasonably flat stage so I guess there will be another sprint finish. After yesterdays showing Boonen and his team seem up to the challenge from Cavendish and Columbia-Highroad so it could be very interesting. Of course a break could stay away so the chance of another winner altogether may happen.

Is that a sprinter's profile, Keith?

I'm never sure. Can Cav get over the lumps and be in touch?

Boonen had no chance, was at least a bike lenght behind. Columbia did well to get the train back on the tracks though didnt they

There is no doubt that Cavendish is the man of the moment in the prints and he also has a good team to get him in position, great show all around. This will make Boonen and Quick Step to start thinking of ways to overcome the Columbia set up. Liephiemer is still the man to beat for the GC and each day his chances seem to be improving.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
