What did he do? Didn't watch.

Anyway, I've never seen Phil this good in P-N.

He lost :p

Was almost sure of win and then Chava came past him with metres to come. Just sheer surprise and disappoitment I guess.

Chava jumps to 3rd on GC and beats Dumoulin, Haussler, Bozic, Gilbert, and Rojas in a sprint. You'd think he rode for Sky.

Rojas never seems to win a sprint, no matter what group he's in. Haussler and Bozic have been on the downhill lately and Phil's still 3kg too heavy. :p

Chava is in better shape right now, his peak is for the Ronde, Phil's peak is 3 weeks later. Chava is an incredible all-rounder, but doesn't really excell in anything.
