2013 Tour de France, Stage 5: Cagnes-sur-Mer→Marseille (229 Km)

[pastronef]

nobody noticed the stage started in Cagnes sur Mer, home of the Stars 'n Bikes bike shop? Motoman is the owner

Sky DS said they found tacks in the wheels of G and Richie Porte from glad they had around 60km out, and that other teams found the same thing

The breakaway did a poor job today. They are not supposed to take a lead out to 13 minutes.

Eddy Boss was clearly content with picking up points by drafting Cav to the line, so what was Greipel doing jostling with EBH to get behind Cav?

He's going to show Greipel up the same way he did with viviani in the giro if today is anything to go by. The contest is clearly between Sagan and Cav

I would, don't put the crash on the sprinters, they were all there at the line, GC guys all crashed by themselves BEHIND the bunch of sprinters and wannabe sprinters

No, it was that idiot Bouhanni sprinting for 20th place that caused the crash.

Seems to be an issue with tacks on the road.

If Goss could not make it over the final climb with the front group and both Cav and Greipel could, that is very concerning for OGE. Clearly the form is not there.

Chavenal fined for "eating in a way that damaged the image of cycling",

Does anyone know what he did?

probably eating while making his physiological needs in front of a family with kids

or eating from KFC .

How come Noval doesn't get fined for that? Like, every day that he pulls on his lycra.

Haha what? What did Chavenal do? And how does Noval eat?

It's not so much how Noval eats, it's what he eats. Which, from his appearance, is 'a lot'.

I can't find out exactly what Chavanel did, only the 100 Swiss Francs fine.

If there is a reasonable hill within 50 ks of the finish Cavendish (and Greipel) won't be around to show anyone up. If the escape doesn't survive it will be Sagan and the best of the survivors to decide the winner.

Maybe he left a banana hanging in his mouth just a littttttttle to long
