Dont get me wrong. @MarkCavendish is not a crazy sprinter. Never has been, never will be. He has speed. Today was a mistake by him IMO.

In the end I think it was a comedy of errors by Tom Veelers and sure bull-headed behaviour by Cav, not outright malice.

[Cav']

Unload and check the TT MACHINES!!

 

Race against the clock tomorrow

Predictions...besides Tony Martin?

Froome will be top 3 and AC probably 6th

I don't believe it's a nudge.

It might look that way, but i don't get that impression.

Go look @ him sprinting next to Veelers when they alongside have a look @ the shoulder movement definitely suspect...when the touch. .. he put in a little more effort... Edited July 9, 2013 by djsam

Chavanel has been brilliant recently.

Got TT colours in France I think.

 

Cameron Meyers surprised in Tour de Suisse.

 

Porte also potent when he's not exhausted.

 

GO TONY!

From the Le Tour website:

 

 

 

How does a lead-out man not know where his sprinter is?

 

Very easily in that chaos in the final few kms.

Again, not malicious, pure reaction.

You should watch a sprint when the elbows come out.

Maybe the main sprinters were a bit frustrated that there aren't that many sprint finishes in this years tour.

I am very upset tonight. I have the whole family kinder-garten at my home tomorrow, so absolutely no chance of any Tour watching.

TT day is not that thrilling from a viewing point of view.

A good day for QT with the famdamily.

I am really suprised that the Sagan fans aren't rooting for Sagan in the TT (no dig at you Dale)
