Cavendish is a BEAST! he goes from being in terrible position and rides away with it. McEwen is toast.

Did you guys see the crash at the ebnd of the stage? The guy's bike broke into abotu three pieces and flew up in the air. It's the sort of thing that scares me a little about carbon fiber. A terrible looking crash but the rider walked away without apparent serious injury.

Very exciting. I thought he had no way of pulling it out.

The crash was awesome as well, but that's not why I watch.

Yea, he is ridiculous. It doesnt sound like he is going to push through the alps but if he does the sprint on Champs Elysee is a foregone conclusion.
