Oi!

Disc brakes would be cool now

 

Doesn't sound like he's having trouble stopping the wheel from turning; sounds like he has trouble preventing lockup.

 

Possibly fatter tires, run at lower pressure, will do much more than changing the braking technology.

Cav takes the win and makes it 3 stages so far. Good bit of training for the man the media is loving to point out is 'on the ropes' and 'running scared'.

Renshaw - what a key in the lead out

Kittel will have to be aware of this potent combo

Not to mention Petacchi who by all accounts is to be the OPQS sprinter at the Giro. Would love to see him pick up a stage even though he'll have to be his own lead out train. Maybe that win at GP Cerami will have got him fired up.

 

"Gianni Meersman and Gert Steegmans set up Alessandro Petacchi who took over inside the final kilometre and the Italian was riding so fast that a gap opened up, with only Mark Renshaw, Cavendish and Maximilano Richeze (Lampre-Merida) staying on his wheel. When Renshaw launched his lead-out, the group was down to three while the rest of the sprinters were scrambling behind in a quest to get back in contention.

 

Cavendish launched his sprint close to the line and he briefly looked around to check whether it was possible for him to give the win to Renshaw. As Richeze was still up there, however, he kept going to the line to take an easy win ahead of the Argentinean while Renshaw made it two OPQS riders on the podium."

Cav' beaten by the other man in Green... so often the bridesmaid today he played a great sprint to beat Cavendish. MTN represented well and cracked the 3rd rung on the ladder. Maybe the undeniable talent of Kudus could do something tomorrow as Yates and Taaremae duke it out for GC.

 

"It was Elia Viviani (Cannondale) cracked the Omega Pharma-QuickStep sprint hegemony in the Tour of Turkey today by beating Mark Cavendish into second and Kristian Sbaragli (MTN-Qhubeka) into third."
