I didn't!

I've convinced myself Cav will win because of the fact he's on his own.

That was a mightily impressive barge thingy!

CAV 3rd in the intermediate sprint (bar the escapes) Looked like he had plenty left so could be ready for tonight. No lead out train makes him look a little lost...

He was boxed in.

Griepel more of a loser than Cav.

Kittel's keeping his powder dry.

Must be around for the finish, could be an Abdoujaparov special with elbows and limbs flying everywhere, hopefully they have stayed clear of the Giro roundabout/barriers/u bends in the last 1 kilo

Big news today no Mr Devil on this years tour as he is recovering from head surgery, he is hoping to be back for the 100th running next year with a bigger and better entourage. We have stopped by him on corporate trips and he can be a bit smelly, perhaps Lynx sponsorship may be a good move.

I thought he had a head injury, years ago!.

I meant to set up Tour Thread Bingo, for the newbies.
That photo, a classic, was going to be one them.

Oh and straight wide run in, no Giro pissing about.

Guess who I'm just about to add to my twitter feed, assuming you're watching ITV.

I am flicking between Eurosport and ITV4, hmmm our club doctor. Doctor Helge Riepenhof.

Rumour has it, a top cyclist has been a guest of his at the AMEX, may need to have CAV watch.

Bingo would be great, Q picture of man with 12 bidons in shirt...

I was thinking more along the lines of Channel 4 title music, and 1066's cycling phone cover

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Wow this is fast.....

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yessssssss that was a master lesson from CAV

 

[n1 gull]

bloody hell that was awesome, well done Cav

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Bloody impressive ride without a train and up against top top sprinters

 

[Falkor]

caviiii

 

[teaboy]

And how pissed off did Greipel look on the line?!

:-D

 

[Stat Brother]

Superb.

The peloton in full flow is a thing of such beauty.

Those last 5 kms looked stunning.
The Giro really didn't help themselves missing out on that.

Great ride by Cav, it was never in doubt.

 

[The Oldman]

Wow! That was some finish.

I think there might have been a tiny bit of doubt..

 

[Marxo]

Greipel not a happy bunny, moaning that Sky didn't chase the leaders and that Cav profited in his slipstream but then said "congratulations to him". Belgian (flemish) commentators again full of praise for Cav, great stuff!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

That was the toughest of his stages and CAV is normally a slow burner on stage wins. No pressure CAV but keep it up, will he be in Green with that win.

Not in my fantasy team.
