[JimPanzen]

Cav was clearly the fastest but the fastest don't always win, gratz greipel.

Whut?????

 

[manafana]

greipel had to deliver today did just that that credit to a great train.

 

[Miburo]

Whut?????

Did you see where he came from with Steegmans?

He was at position 20 with 1 km to go.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Cav days are numbered beaten by Sagan and Kittel.

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Great Stage

Loved it - although maybe the result could have been a bit better

Cav was clearly the fastest but the fastest don't always win, gratz greipel.

Not sure what you saw, but Cav was clearly slower than Kittel, Sagan, and Greipel. Chase may have taken the sting out of his legs.

 

[melkemugg]

great win by greipel
flexing german muscles

 

[goggalor]

Yay, Impey in yellow. 1st ever African.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Nice work from Lotto, good win Greipel.

Bad day for Cav, crash with 30k's to go took it out of him. Terrible OPQS leadout.

Imply in yellow!

 

[Miburo]

Yay, Impey in yellow. 1st ever African.

Huh? Gerrans is the only one of greenedge with 0 seconds in Gc, isn't he?

EDIT: i guess i'm wrong

 

[Broth3r]

The first African in Yellow, in the city where the first African stage win occurred (Rob Hunter). Fitting.

 

[Afrank]

Not sure what you saw, but Cav was clearly slower than Kittel, Sagan, and Greipel. Chase may have taken the sting out of his legs.

He started from too far back and slowed down when he saw Greipel had it allowing Kittel and Sagan to past him. Greipel probably the fastest, Cav maybe 2nd fastest.

 

[Broth3r]

They were tied, but there were time cuts in the peloton.

 

[Arnout]

Small time gap, but only sprinters in the first batch it seems.

 

[Afrank]

Yay, Impey in yellow. 1st ever African.

Very cool.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

The last rider to win a Tour stage with the German Champion jersey on was... Jan Ullrich in Andorra 1997.

There was a 5" time gap from the sprinters. But Impey would've gotten it on placings anyway.

Cav was never gonna win when he was about 5th wheel with just a few hundred metres to go. He pulled out into the wind early coz he knew he couldnt just stay in the wheels but it was always too far out, he had to use his burst just to get near to griepel and obviously faded in t,he last 100m

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Cav had no lead out - had to keep jumping from lead to the next.

Considering he ate dirt today - don't think he can be too disappointed.

 

[Pulpstar]

Sagan will be happy with that result

 

[Lance Armstrong]

He started from too far back and slowed down when he saw Greipel had it allowing Kittel and Sagan to past him. Greipel probably the fastest, Cav maybe 2nd fastest.

He didn't slow down. Sagan passed him as he was not riding in the wind. Just like EBH beat Sagan yesterday.

 

[The Principal Sheep]

He started from too far back and slowed down when he saw Greipel had it allowing Kittel and Sagan to past him. Greipel probably the fastest, Cav maybe 2nd fastest.

Sagan had him beat which is why he slowed.

 

[willbick]

Cav was 1.8 to win the stage with about 2km to go.

 

[goggalor]

Kelly looks very intimidating on camera.
