Christie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Cav could be a bit less than fresh after doing the full Giro - few recouver 100% in time for the tdf. His team were getting a bit worried after not getting much in the way of results in the spring classics, they should have pulled him out of the Giro half way.Also, he hit the front a bit further out, he is the best at long sprints, too, but like I said, perhaps he has less than perfect form. Funny how Phill called a win for Cav.Thirdly, could he have done a mini Zabel and let up before crossing the line?

'Dale Posted July 12, 2013 Share Here's something for this Dale guy who's so crazy about Cannondale. Got good shots of Sagan after he finished but they come with a price tag When you grab a frame, just get my size okay?! [sent you a PM a week ago or something, Capcha.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted July 12, 2013 Share Has he ever Guess not, but you have to wonder why they have lead-out men for him. Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted July 12, 2013 Share Funny how Phill called a win for Cav Not the first time he got it wrong this tour?  Eurosport is bliss, albeit pixelated and buffered at times.  btw Sean Kelly's autobiography "Hunger" is just out now.

GrumpyOldGuy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Not the first time he got it wrong this tour?   No its not, I understand its often difficult to call on the roll, but I think Phil needs new glasses. Anyway, Pan flat again today, not too many gonna vote against Marcel getting a 4th I think. Cav seems to have lost a bit of speed recently, or maybe its just Marcel is faster.? Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koukie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Their other commentator Carlton Kirby (?) is quite good as well, knows lots of stuff about the scenery and historical buildings they show during the stagesI was wondering about this, its insane the amount of knowledge they have on the chateau's, scenary, towns etc. Do they study the stuff before each stage?

Thorn199 Posted July 12, 2013 Share I was wondering about this, its insane the amount of knowledge they have on the chateau's, scenary, towns etc. Do they study the stuff before each stage?All part of ASOs media coverage. They know which chateau, towns, villages, rivers etc they will feature, and each media team is given a cheat sheet on the facts before each stage.

Andrew Steer Posted July 12, 2013 Share Sadly I think it's time for Phil to call it quits (and retire to his lekker little house in Natures Valley)... lots of years still left for Paul though I reckon and pairing him with a knowledgeable young gun would probably make a very lekker little combo. There looks like a nice little kick a few kays from the finish today - might be enough for Sagan, Gilbert and Degenkolb to ditch the pure speedsters, or at least some of them?

'Dale Posted July 12, 2013 Share I'm surprised phil still know his own name. *Chuckle* Yeah, time to not renew his contract.But I reckon they'll keep him on. Makes me think of Hugh Bladen in SA rugby broadcasts.
