Sky bossed Stage 2and delivered Cav the win. On Stage 3 for me they did too much work with about 50K to go and perhaps weren't as strong at the end, but Cav did lose Geraint's wheel on a corner and found himself about 2 bikes back with 2 Sky riders leading the Peloton. At that point Cav looked happy to sit on Renshaw's wheel (or else he was having a flashback) and try to nick the win. It actually reminded me of the World Championship ride, where the GB team bossed the race but then got swamped in the final 2k, at which point Cav showed street-smarts and sneaked it.
And he might have done, but for Ferrari. That said Goss may have had too much for him, but Cav would have got top 3 minimum, which would have kept him in the Maglia Rosso, which Goss has now. So whether Cav would have won or not is immaterial, he would have finished high and scored plenty of points in the competition Sky look set up for, since they don't really have a GC rider (honourable mentions to Uran and Thomas).
