Not sure if it is something in the setup or the way cavendish sprints but this is not the first chain slip at a major race sprint.

Someone had the comment quite long ago "and out pops this cheeky Manx monkey to snatch the win" which I thought was a nice and relevant turn of phrase; even now. Great result, a DQ would have been terrible.

Luke & G (Watts Occurring) were talking about Cavendish's longevity. He has competed against people that have come and gone, as well as the current generation:

Okay, not all are out-and-out sprinters, but he's beaten them all, and I'msure some have beaten him too, so they're good enough to be labelled as a "sprinter":

  • McEwan
  • Hunter
  • Zabel
  • Farrar
  • Ciolek
  • Hushovd
  • Petacchi
  • Greipel
  • Rojas
  • Kittel
  • Sagan
  • Boasson Hagan
  • Colbrelli
  • The boxer... what's his name... Bouhanni
  •  

And those still competing:

  • Kristoff
  • Ewen
  • Degenkolb
  • Demare (is he still active?)
  • Bennett
  • Jasper
  • Coquard
  • Bling
  • Groenewagen
  • Jakobson
  •  

I may have left a few names off the list.
