Astana starting the lead out for champ Elysee from very early and very far back
Nah.
Most of these sprinter guys are pretty good at descending.
Groves, the most recent example I can think of, was very good in the Giro and impressed.
You just dont usually get to watch these guys descend from the gruppetto in the mountain stages and I doubt the cars are infront of them going downhill...

Being a "1 trick pony" is what makes it cooler.
He has had far fewer stages he could potentially win.
Sick because of the heat and being out of shape. That he is exhausted.
Or that he is actually sick?
Well, he probably not gonna admit to being out of shape so probably a stomach bug + heat or something will be it.

Being more riders doesn't help him, he already has four guys who can shield him from wind and get him supplies, and they are pedalling lightly to not drop him.
He got over multi mountain stages in Suisse that were far harder than this stage has been so far, which was mostly flat with a shallow rise. They're pouring water over him and hes puking, it's illness, or heatstroke.

You think he'll post-pone his retirement (again) so he can get the record next year?

Bobke calculates the time limit at 40 minutes. Cav might be able to suffer and make it but there are some tough climbs coming up.

Eisel said that he expected him to throw up , because of drinking to much water because of the heat. So might also be that.
But if it's the heat or a sickness doesn't matter that much I guess, he looks toast.

Are you disputing the basic principle in physics that heavier things descend faster?
That is not how things work...

In a straight line, yes. But the best descender are because of bike handling skills. Nibali and now Pidcock. Can has had a problem the last several years staying on his bike.Are you disputing the basic principle in physics that heavier things descend faster?

For people speculating if Cavendish can survive the day, let's remind ourselves they've only done 1 of 7 categorised climbs on the stage
