I'm not currently in Europe so I missed today's stage. Does anybody have a video clip of the last 5 kilometres or whatever?

I just knew there was going to be a thread regarding his win today :D
It was very impressive :eek: especially the way he accelerated again when he saw Rodriguez coming

That's insane. Gilbert is almost unbeatable on these kinds of finishes when kicks well and gets a gap. He can push such a big gear over these kind of finishes. eg Cauberg, lombardia and giro last year. So impressive to watch.

Can't get enough of that.
Impressive how he pulled that gap.

For me this was one of the most impressive presentations of easyness in this season so far, right next to that Haedo sprint.

Hushovd's TdF win this year must've also been the easiest sprint in his life :p
But this was a very impressive win indeed. let's hope he gets even better for October! :D
