When you see these profiles, no wonder Cavendish and Cancellara have left.
This stage would have broken Cav, and it's better for his reputation to choose to leave, than be timed out.

Is this the hardest stage of the tour, or was that the stage going into Andorra?

Cav's done harder stages and I don't think he has actually ever been timed out in a GT. I think there's been a couple of times he theoretically could have been but has been in a big enough grupetto to know he wouldn't.

he also gets stung by wasps quite often in hard mountain stages, so all the more kudos to him for always making the time cut ;-)
