Sort of semi-related, I watched 'Clean Spirit' on netflix one night whilst rather bored. It followed the Argos-Shimano team at the TdF and although a bit of a puff piece, I felt Kittel and Degenkolb came across as rather nice, likeable people. Moreso (dare I say it) than Cavendish.
It was also interesting that the team doctor showed the daily vitamins, caffeine pills etc that he gives to all the riders but mentioned that Kittel refused to take any of them.
Anyway, can't remember what my point was. Thus far though, Kittel looks absolutely unstoppable - just so incredibly powerful compared to the other sprinters, it'll be interesting to see how long he can keep that up for.
