Alcohol poisoning would set in if I drank everytime he said "Cavendish"

Or at least he didn't crash out that guy on the motorcycle in the Specialized commercial

As to the current state of affairs:

Flecha = awesome.

The guy races.

Agree, Flecha, dos cojones; cavendish got it back what he did 2 days a go....

Sweet revenge!

Cav got bitch slapped.

Suspect he'll be giving Kittel the plaudits he deserves. He certainly can't complain about his leadout, and he himself said the other day that Kittel is the up and coming sprint star.

Honestly think that's the first time I've ever seen Cav lose from a position like that. Either he's not quite right at the moment (tired after the Giro and/or knocked from all the attention this week?) or we could be seeing some fantastic battles between those 2 over the next few years. Hopefully it's the latter!

I will say that one addition to NBC sports network that I appreciate is the "Inside the race" report with, uhh, I think his name is Steve Perino (maybe)

Suffer Well.

Glad to see you're still alive. At points I got worried for you. Go get an IV and recover for tomorrow.

Cav is pretty quick to criticize his teammates when they don't do their job. Must be awkward in that bus right now.

AWKWAAARD.

The dude in the car? He's Steve Porino, but Ligget calls him Stan Furina

I was thinking the same thing. I was pretty shocked to see somebody overhall him in the final. Usually in that situation he wins by ten yards. I do think it livens things up, but also wonder if he has to be feeling it from the Giro.

I'm not really a fan of Cav but I respect his hard work and don't really understand the hate from the other day. The dude who crashed was just playing the sprinter game and lost. Even the race officials agreed it was his own fault he crashed.

I find the intermediate sprints to be kind of pointless under the current rules. With only one point separating each place, then you get a sort of half-hearted sprint, just to make sure you are there.

It does at least get them out there this year though, rather than totally ignoring it.

Yep, and there is a less punctures because there s no more needles in the peloton....

Not really. Cav will be the first to hold his hand up and apologise to his team. He gives and takes criticism when it is due.

Use to be that once "Cav is launched, no one can catch him." I think Cav's time as the top sprinter might have come to an end. Very exciting to watch Kittel race and past Cav.

The only thing missing from this tour is Farrar wading it up in the finishing stretch or just getting smoked in the last 200 meters

Any gossip on that? Did cav admit that he simply got beaten? Or did he go too early? Or did he blame his train for running out of gas too soon?

lol, you really have it out for Farrar, huh? Did he kill your puppy when you were little? You can tell us. This is a safe space ;)

Cav's tweet: Like I said, @marcelkittel's the new big thing. Simply better than me today. Congrats! Sorry I couldn't finish @opqscyclingteam's hard work.

From velonews: “You can sit there and analyze it, but when there is someone simply faster than you there is nothing you can do,” said Cavendish. “I don’t think me, or the team, could have done anything differently. He was just simply better today. I tweeted the other day I think he’s the next big thing. I spoke with him today, actually. I think he’s the next superstar in sprinting and he showed it today. He’s won three stages now and that’s not easy. I can tell you that from experience.”

just watched the replay of yesterday's sprint and Kittel (Drago) was absolutely in control, looking around, didn't go to soon, and relaxed (relatively)...made it look easy.....beautiful ride, but I wouldn't send Cav home to his baby mama just yet

Who will it be today?
Technical finish
Kittel again? Greipel learns to turn?

Aero vs Non Aero stands at 7 to 5 and Sagan is gonna win tomorrow.

Aeroweenies need a win today! haha
