Yeah, thanx, petatodd, I saw Spinnekop's link.

Was looking for a full profile.

Prob coming soon thru the media.

 

Team management promised him that fiets if he won his 1st TdF stage.

Rumors are the team manager promised him a Porsche if he gets a 2nd win. Dunno how true that is...

Just watched the highlights.

The battle for Green is hot hot.

Serious sprinting by the big guns at intermediate hot spots!

So Kris Boeckmans (Vacansoleil-DCM) becomes the first car sucker? And D.S. Hilaire Van de Schueren becomes the 1st DS in a car to be sucked? And no Schleck nor Horner in sight.

Master class sprint finish by Cav.

One of the best I've seen from him. Half a wheel over Greipel.

 

TdF stage win 21!

[udxcob]

What has happened to the daily stage by stage reports:commentary on the hub like last year?

[Tumbleweed]

Looks like the Gorilla lunged too early. Great power by Cav!

Agh crap.... more sucking up to cavendish

Day 4 Stage 3

Very hilly at the end, 4 hills in succession

 

 

Heading towards the Channel with head winds?

 

 

Nice painful climbs at the finish

 

 

In all, short sharp climbs to blow the sprinters away, all short and sharp. Will all the GC boys stand the pace?

 

 

Last climb into Boulogne-Sur-Mer quite brural after 200km

Agh crap.... more sucking up to cavendish

 

Even from "Harry Potter" himself:

 

"He's shown time and time again he can do it from a train, on his own, he's very handy on the bike and he's good at positioning."
