I say sketchy move by Cav, both sketchy in terms of putting the two of them at risk by coming in like that, and sketchy in the sense of it being a bit cheeky of him to cut off his competitor** (this is what cost Cav the green jersey last year).[/**QUOTE]
Not that he needs defending but it wasn't his fault at the TdF last year. Cav kept his line (very straight) it's just that the barriers and road layout were pants and 'forced' Thor into him as it were. The Commisaires (sp?) made a crap decision - partly because they are racist against Manxmen and partly because if Cav had won the Green Jersey he was going to blow the lid off Lance's doping - he'd seen him injecting EPO into his eyeball - yes once again it was Lance Armstrong's fault).
Cav is normally really good at keeping his line and not interfering with other riders. Not sure what he thought he was doing here though (not that I'm blaming him - it just looks like he's cut across a bit)
