DD perhaps did too much too soon.. guys were spent perhaps a bit too early.. but flippen hell what a sprint from Marcel.

This is so weird. .do I look for excuses for Cav now that he is a DD rider ???? .. I'll give him one. .he got himself boxed in a bit..the speed is there though.

Cavendish woke up a bit late but did well to finish 2nd

Kittel ahead of the game and not sure if he was at 100%

Will be interesting to see them in a more equal (better positioned Cavendish) sprint

Think it was more of Cav was on his ace while Ettixx and Trek controlled it. 

 

Think its going to take some time for DD to become a slick lead out train in the sprints.

Jeez, what a massive sprint.

 

You'd have to say Cav' was away back on 7th wheel and flying solo when the last Etixx peeled off and Kitten took up the sprint. Kudos to the manx man for covering the ground that he did in the final 300m especially having to head to the right and go around so many riders before closing the gap that had opened up to Kittel. That's no easy task at those speeds.

 

I'd say Cav is looking v.strong, just needs Renshaw to be there later. 

 

Kitten loved that win.. it's going to be a great, great year for the fast duels.

Also nice to see Chris Opie from One Pro Cycling getting 7th in with the big boys. Guardini was typically erratic and all over the place in that one as well.
