Have to admit to saying (whilst the giro was on with J Milan et al) I didn’t think he would win a TDF stage this year, although obviously hoped he would, but once it was underway and I saw the sprinters line up and how Astana were really going all-out just for Mark my opinion changed and the Obama style belief kicked in.
It’ll be interesting to see how much more he wants to do because why not try for another stage?
Exactly - and the prospect now the weight's off his shoulders of bowing out with the final stage win in Nice in his final tour... too perfect for words!
