Gilbert doing a lot of work for not many points.

Well his attack essentially got him what... 2 points?

Rojas finished 2 points down from the main bunch. Even if Gilbert hadn't beaten Rojas, all the attack did was move him from 12th to 10th and move Rojas down from 11th to 12th.

EBH started his sprint 300 meters too early again. Lars Bak - what a ****ing ******bag. He managed to be in a breakaway for a whole day without hitting the front even once before the final 100 meters. Typical HTC tactic.

Absolutely amazed by Thor Hushovd, that was one gutsy ride!

Didn't know they had the camera on Bak all day, what channel were you watching? :rolleyes:

Correction: Thor is having a great tour, in spite of JV :rolleyes:

I'm not a fan of pointy sideburns and turtlenecks, but JV likely made the call today.

So Garmin with a Tour TTT,Sprint and road stage.

throw in a Paris Roubaix and that's a good year.

Well Done Garmin Gang!

tru dat. Still, though, all that time in yellow plus this is better IMO than chasing the green jersey again. At least he's adding to, rather than repeating.

Thor called it the best day in his life.....

In the GC he went too place 9. Maybe he's going for a place in top 15 :)
 
Absolutely fantastic ride by Hushovd...

Yep. Next year he should say goodbye to JV.

I don't see why he couldn't have done both. Simply contesting the intermediates would have put him much closer to green and today he could have easily grabbed the intermediate sprint without sacrificing his goal.

I didn't like how Thor rode in Paris-Roubaix (but let's not drag that debate up again), but this was an absolute fantastic win. A great combination of guts, strength and tactics. Very, very impressive.
