    I don't think there's anything wrong with Alpecin backing their guy, he's the 2nd best sprinter here and they have a better chance of winning the stage in a sprint than letting the break win.

    I like the way you think.

    Also fewer teams willing to work now, which might make the flat stages a little more exciting.

    The thing that bugs me the most is how dumb the whole thing was. They could all easily have crashed into each other and their tours would be over. Not worth it for a very minor advantage on one stage. I guess in the heat of the moment nobody is thinking like that.

    Merlier also deviated rightwards as Cavendish came around him, a good few feet. Relegate all 3 of them or none.

    But he clearly does. I can see him moving right regardless of the white line. It's really obvious on the overhead shot. You can look at the gap between Philipsen and the barrier on the left expanding if it's not obvious to you.

    I'm amazed at the number of people talking about Cavendish moving across without also mentioning that Philipsen did exactly the same thing from the other side.

    I think the problem is both Philipsen and Cav expected Merlier to stop when they came past him, like a normal leadout man would, which is why they both moved towards him.

    If he can make it over the mountains.

    Cav winning a stage of the TDF, then moaning about other teams not contributing, while the internet is full of people wanting him disqualified. We really have time travelled back a decade.

    My favourite one of these was 2012 stage 18, just the way Cav drops the peloton while chasing the break down. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQedKbxiuBA
