Cav's achievement is great i agree, but the Columbia HTC train should take the credit.. Hincapie, Renshaw, Rogers, Kirchen etc.. even in Paris, Garmin, Astana, Saxo Bank etc could not out smart them tactically. They have precision timing for reeling in the escapees / breakaway riders down to the second. Controlling the peloton and calculating the close out of stages requires great skill.
Cav only needs to jump the last 200 metres on each stage win, he needs to find strength in the mountains and take intermediate sprint points like Hushovd, to win the green jersey..
then i will be impressed..
