  • Why is this indication of abandoning?

    not a lot of chances left for sprinting, morkov is gone and demare and ewan look stronger .. dunno

  • There's two, and possibly three, sprint stages next week. Cavendish has always been a sprinter who's speed declines slower than his rivals over the course of a three week race, so he won't quit unless he's sick, as his chances of winning more stages are good.

    Tomorrow's stage has a really tough opening though, with three climbs in the opening forty kilometres, so making the time limit is going to be a stage long effort.

  • making the time limit

    This is what I was getting at. He lost 35 mins on Etna. I know it’s all calculated but I think tomorrow will be raced absolutely eyeballs out.
