2012 Tour de France: Stage 5: Rouen → Saint-Quentin (196.5km)

[Bala Verde]

too steep for cav?

Greipel takes a great win here. Beating all the other sprinters.

 

[burning]

Sky went to front with only EBH to soon, thats way Cav lost momentum and couldnt get going

 

[Frosty]

Rabo seemed quite relaxed coming in?

 

[Marcus135]

I thought Goss had that for a few seconds... Great win by Greipel though.

 

[SantiBotero]

Kruijswijk loses another minute

Crash was inside 3km

this..

also sagan would've beat everyone here, cav included.

 

[Bala Verde]

Kruijswijk loses another minute

he fell within the last 3k, so I am guessing they don't count it.

 

[Frosty]

EBH was doing the lead-out at about 1.5k, assume that Cav couldnt slot back in near the front. Maybe also a little steep and suffering from yesterday,

 

[Bernie's eyesore]

what was cav doing?

Strange, he was 2nd apart from the breakaway with a km to go and when we next saw him he was down in about 30th.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Oh gawd Andy Tandy

 

[Mellow Velo]

Sagan the big loser, today.
That was more his type of finish that Harmon made out.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

what was cav doing?

he may be a little sore from yesterday.

Nice job again by Greipel.

I thought just outside , where the crash happens I mean.

[SirLes]

Great sprint from Greipel. Cav looked to be struggling with the slope and I suspect still feeling the effects of the crash yesterday.

 

[cineteq]

Greipel should consider going for green...

 

[burning]

Actually the peloton was just outside the 3k banner, I might be wrong though

 

[c&cfan]

he may be a little sore from yesterday.

Nice job again by Greipel.

cav was at the front with 1.5km to go... then 50th position. the opposite of the second stage.

 

[Dutchsmurf]

Crash was inside 3km

Nope, it was about 50 meters before the 3km sign.

 

[Lexman]

so Greipel does it as well when Cav participates in the sprint....

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Cavendish wasn't out of the saddle there at the end.

 

[Lexman]

Greipel
Goss
Haedo
Cavendish

Veelers, Dumoulin

 

[Pippo_San]

That's bull****, Sagan would've won this

 

[Fetisoff]

Nope, it was about 50 meters before the 3km sign.

Letour.fr shows 120+ riders, including Farrar and co. at +0

(OK, nvm, now only 91 riders, no Farrar, Sagan, Krujswik
