Hahahha, yeesss! The Manx!

CN, just STOP making predictions, ye?

The collective oracle is all-miss.



CAAAAAAAAAAAV! HAHAHA, TAKE THAT KITTEL!

I'm sorry, this is just great.

Cav kicked their @sses.

 

[Publicus]

that crash looked pretty bad

 

[Irondan]

Beats Kittel head to head for yellow, that's what's up!!!

 

[SlickMongoose]

Brilliant timing from Cav. His timing let him down last year but he managed to start his sprint at the perfect time.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Impressive by Cav, Bennett looks hurt

 

[Pricey_sky]

Just got to my holiday cottage for the final 500 metres to see Cav in yellow,

GET IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kwibus]

Severe Katusha crash.

Benett looks like a broken collarbone :/

 

[MacBAir]

What a great win. Fantastic sneaky Cav, Sagan putting those watts down showed that even on flatout stages he can win against anyone (300m sprint on the wind), Kittel isn't above the rest.

 

[BigMac]

But Cav was done! The Oracle had spoken!

I demand a refund.

 

[jaylew]

Cav beats Kittel for the 1st time

 

[myrideissteelerthanyours]

Yay cav in yellow great timing!

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Fantastic result. Thrilled for Cav

 

[Arredondo]

Cav is back!

Best possible outcome of this stage!

 

[Stan955]

Sagan went way too early

Thanks betfair, idk what you were doing putting Cav at 7/1

 

[LaFlorecita]

Reckon the time gaps will be neutralized?

 

[perico]

That's exactly why Prudhomme is stupid for being "innovative" and ditching the prologue. First day is way too nervous and dangerous.

Re:

No one beats Mark Cavendish fifteen (or so) times in a row.

Re:

Yes surely they will, very nasty crash.

 

[sir fly]

He timed it perfectly.
Kittel started earlier than he should because of Sagan, but it turned to be Sagan was just Cavendish's lead out.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Looked like an awful crash. Anyone see what caused it (beyond the general "it was a super fast messy sprint on the first day of the Tour" reason)?

 

[spalco]

So happy for Cavendish, but that Katusha crash was hideous.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

What a strong sprint from the world champion! Did Sagz try to get the jump on the other sprinters by taking it up so far out or was it just very bad timing?

Happy for Cav, btw.
