Re: Re:
Even in his twitter rants and his reactions, it's still all about how he himself is not to blame. Renshaw left him 'hanging' and people who thought he could've managed to stay in front of Canc are idiots. Nothing like "I'm sorry that I didn't manage to secure the yellow for Tony - I made a mistake". Nah, of course not. He hits out left and right, as usual when he doesn't win.
Yeah, whatever.Kwibus said:

Re: Re:
Massive fail by FDJ, I wasn't able to see the final 15km of the stage but as far as I saw the stage they never even tried to close the gap for Pinot and never helped Astana and Movistar.
But what else would you expect from a team that let's their team leader loose 5 seconds on every single remaining road stage of the TdS after he got the leaders jersey in the queenstage?
I don't know if that was the only reason, it could be.TMP402 said:

Re: Re:
They clearly chased at some point but probably gave up a bit in the end.

Re: Re:
That makes sense now as I thought in the last 3km where did G come from! I'm still amazed how quickly the Pinibs group lost time.Eagle said:

Especially if he's blaming renshaw, blaming renshaw for 1 mistake ever is the most stupid thing I can think ofKwibus said:

Re: Re:
Well im watching andutch tour show now and theyve shown a good analysis.
Kwiat,martin,uran and stybar are leading their pack with 1.2km to go. Behind them are the lotto-be guys and behind them renshaw and cav. Lotto-be starts moving up to the etixx train very slowly and then renshaw decided to pass the lotto-be train and comes to the lead with 800mtr to go which is way too early. Why did he do that?
Unless cav told him to go he made the mistake to go way too early.

With all these posts blaming Cavendish, why on earth wasn't Martin on Cancellara's wheel? Would probably not have been able to pass him, but still.

Re:
He must have been drafting so hard that he almost sat in the team car. NO way he did caught up to the group on his own. Actually, I am surprised there are no pictures of his chase.
Remember Tinkoff posting riders drafing on his twitter and complaining about it?

Re:
He spent 50km riding flat out, then you expect him to try and beat Cancellara in a sprintDJ Sprtsch said:
Loved the race action and drama today. Was glued to the telly for 1,5h.
Fantastic start to a GT.
Oh, and congrats to Greipel, such a pleasure seeing him win.
Game on.

Re: Re:
Yeah, I was surprised about this too when I was following the news stream. One second he has a bike change and two mins later he is back with the group.
As for Cav, sometimes you need to know when to pick your battles. The cause of his defeat was likely due at least partially to Renshaw's tactics, but as leader, it can help morale if you don't always throw your teammates under the bus.
