Time to change the final stage of the Tour me thinks... It's getting boring. 4 years in a row the same result.

A time trial into Paris or a MTT or something... ABC(Anything but Cav)

If that was a boring end to the stage you shouldn't be watching! Simples!
 
Lost it at Lesley Garrett coming out. So weird. She is very annoying too.

If Sagan was the better sprinter today why was he so badly placed in the run out. Must have been miles out of position, and positioning yourself in the right place is part of being a sprinter, is it not?

Not just about pure speed and strength, you need a bit of smarts to go with it!

yeah thats about it.. :) No excuses Cav Nailed it correctly Sagan didnt. :)
 
Perfectly handled sprint by Cav. Definitely the man to beat going into the Olympics.

Also, when was the last time the yellow jersey led out the last km or so of a finish in Paris. I liked it.
 
I just rewatched the sprint several times (on a very crappy youtube upload) and I don't know how you can say Sagan was the fastest. I'm not sure where Sagan was around the curve, but he was two bike lengths behind Cav since at least ~150 metres from the finish and didn't manage to make up more than one bike length, despite having Goss' and then Cav's wheel and despite Cav already having been in the sprint several hundred metres. He just didn't have the legs.

And awesome pull by Wiggins, wasn't just for show, he gave it all he had.
