I'm always just blown away by Cavendish's acceleration. And that second acceleration is just out of this world.

Indeed, EBH seemed fast, but then Cav made him look slow.

Interesting Evans saying yesterday that Lelangue wasn't giving him time checks to Martin.

I can imagine Rihs will be giving the BMC boys quite a nice bonus.

I'd be surprised if anyone was ever quicker over last 200m. Ok yea I know the train is a factor.

Maybe it was cleanest tour which was why sometimes seemed boring.
The riders are slaughtered, as Eisel said if they were horses someone would have shot them by now.

Greipel was pretty fast, but once again placed like crap.

Nice words from Gilbert there...saying he's pleased the green jersey has ended up on the right shoulders.

Cav says "under past rules if you win 5 stages you get the jersey, this year we had to work so much harder to get the green".

Umm you won 6 in 09 and 5 in 10 and didnt get the jersey Cav.

Nah he said if the rules as they are now applied in previous tours then winning 5 stages would constitute an armchair ride to green, but this year him and his team had to work really hard for it

Yeah, I caught that, too. He was after Martin's time. Probably would have gotten it, too.
