Yes... Well.... When i said Sagan, i meant to say Cav would win!

Another bunch sprint tomorrow, hopefully Cav can do the business again.

I could not see what caused the crash. The blue and white topped FDJ rider parted company with his bike. It ended up at the barrier blocking the Sky rider (Lopez Garcia?). http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11...t#.UdSImPnWS1X

It has been confirmed Radioshack's Zubeldia has broken a bone in his hand after colliding with teammate Klöden early in the stage.

Cav has jumped up to joint 2nd on the green jersey standings but he's a long way behind Sagan..............35 points

Main crash seemed to be Bouhanni contacting a OPQS slowing down leadout man (Matteo Trentin), who wasn't doing anything wrong, going alot slower than the sprinters but in a straight line. Previous form suggests Bouhanni was probably all over the road/ not looking where he was going.

I think that's what we used to call 'Doing an Abdoujaparov'

Sky saying that both Richie Porte's and Geraint Thomas's puncture yesterday were caused by tacks. FFS................not again, I hope.

Todays stage underway on ES

140K to go..............there's a lone man up the road with about two and half minutes

Intermediate sprint coming up in about 25K............big points at stake with only one man in the break. Let's hope Cav has a proper go !

It's a flat stage with a strong wind blowing.........they seem t think there won't be a problem as it's a tailwand most of the way, but there's a small section where tey turn and it becomes a cross wind for a few Kilometres..........hopefully we'll get some splits in the peloton and some red hot echelon action !

Griepel beats Cav in the intermediate sprint but Cav gets a few points back on Sagan who could only finish 4th

I have to stop tipping who i think will win the stage... First Sagan, and now Cav.

Anyway good win for the Gorilla...

What happened to Cav's team in the last few km? He had no proper lead out, which seemed odd. Maybe they peaked too early after pushing the pace around the 10km mark.

Well done Cannondale and Sagan.... I think they started to put down the pace 100+ km's out.

Sagan will become one of the greats of cycling... Just a shame i can't stand him!

It'll make my day when he does one of those silly winning celebrations and then promptly crashes into something. But other than that, I prefer him to win than Cav.

Can't say I'm a huge cycling fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing the Tour ride past our village tomorrow

C'mon............tell us where it is and what kind of inflatable fruit you'll be waving !



I've only seen a couple of proper cycle races. The Tour of Britain came past my flat, well on the main road, a few years ago.

Then I spent the day in Hyde Park when the Tour prologue was there a few years ago

ps............make sure you come and give us a first hand report ! It should be interesting..............

It's been near us 3 times recently and tomorrow (the 4th time) will actually be the second one I'll have seen. Won't be waving an inflatable fruit but the village is between Castelnaudary and Limoux. I'm actually going to friends in another village (Villasavary) so if they show anything from there watch out for a few union jacks !

You should run alongside the riders wearing only speedos with "DS" on the back.

LOL, yes. I think boobs would be a step too far for even France Télévisions in the daytime.
