good sprint by Cav.

deserved the win.


Just something else I noticed, that I hated ....

Sagan wearing a green helmet.  Not the normal Liquigas green, but green to go with the green jersey.  BUT HE ISNT THE GREEN JERSEY HOLDER!!!   

Fair enough you go all out if you hold the jersey.  Its great to celebrate.   
But if you are not actually leading that competition, you dont green it up   :fp

Great stuff from Cav.  Completely deserved that. Didn't beat Greipes by a lot though. Should make for some good sprinting.

Weak, light and rubbish Cav still has the sprint in him. Next he's winning the GC. Good ride.

Time to put a royal ransom on him to win the Gold...

Fatted Cav struggled to win the opening Tour sprint most years, I think Half-Cav will struggle even more. Greipel to win ahead of Farrar and Sagan.

Tournai's Notre Dame cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an extraordinary, large and pretty rare example of Romanesque architecture this far north of Ravenna. It's not in the best shape these days but it's well worth a visit. I went there on a bitterly cold day on my way back from Lille a couple of years ago and was most annoyed to have forgotten my camera.



Like all great Romanesque edifices, the simplicity of the decoration is surprising given the hatful of Gothic flamboyance for which Belgium is perhaps better known.



It has nonetheless endured the imposition of a rather daft looking Gothic choir at one end, while the West front retains its splendid original form.

Work began on Notre Dame in 1147. To put that in perspective, in the same year the Second of the Nine Crusades got started, the little town of Moscow was mentioned for the first time in written history and the temple complex of Angkor Wat in Cambodia was almost complete. :D

Will be a fast finish today as the final few km's are not technical therefore a team with a good train will be able to line the peloton out and therefore make it easier for their sprinter to win. This will make it harder for Cav but he may still be able to do it. A good chance for Goss to take the victory with his team built around him.

I think Greips will just take it from Cav and Goss 3rd

Will be interesting to see how His Cav-ness handles this. Sky's team are more geared to helping Wiggins up mountains than piloting Cav in the final 10kms. Of course, Cav is just as capable of sitting on the back op the, say,  GreenEdge train as he would be on the final seat in a Sky train and winning. But it'll be an extra wrinkle for sure.

Anywho:

1. Cav
2. Greipel
3. Goss
4. Kittel
5. Sagan

Interesting comment on twitter showing Cav doing his homework. apparently after finishing yesterday he stopped over the line to watch replays of Sagan's sprint

According to CN twitter Lulu Sanchez is ok and will start stage 2

Don't think Sagan will sprint so well against a proper field on a flat course. My opinion anyway
