Surprised Greipel didnt get better than 7th, he looked to be in a good position.
Well done Goss
Farrar is still nowhere
Red Rick said:Damn, Cav still could've won if he wouldn't have to slow down

Greipel kind of disappointed me. He was in a good position.
Lame excuses. Wanna see more Cav beating...SafeBet said:"I’m quite disappointed with my leadout today. It’s not often that I say that, but I think we’ll have to have words tonight.”

Does this man look ready?

LaFlorecita said:Farrar just gave up when he saw he was completely boxed in, at least that's how I interpreted it.
Not me. I want to see him dominate. I want to see stunning displays of speed. Monstrous "come from behind" wins and powerful "just rode them off his wheel" wins. Wins with and without support. Uphill, downhill, big bunch, small bunch. The lot.cineteq said:Lame excuses. Wanna see more Cav beating...

Is it not true that his team were disappointing in the leadout today? Do we actually, as fans, attack riders who speak openly & honestly to the media? Do we just want automatons who merely mutter empty platitudes every time? Also I could be wrong but I don't think he criticised the entire team, I'm sure he thanked Steegmans? I could be wrong, I admit I wasn't paying complete attention to his interview.
But it's hard to sound genuine when he just does it as PR. I'm rooting for Greipel, Goss and Sagan to teach him a lesson.forkboy84 said:When Cavendish wins the first thing he does is heap praise on his team for making it possible.

trevim said:I think Cavendish was a bit out of line: obviously his team wasn't great but just yesterday he got the leader's jersey thanks to them. He should have kept those critics private.
Anyway Cav was never a diplomat or a class act
