There was black friday when he punctured at the crash and was a minute back from the peloton when a team around him would have got him back. Greipel won that stage, he rolled in about 8 minutes back or more.
There was also that stage in the Languedoc with that short climb and Cav got dropped. A team might have got him back, like Lotto did for Greipel. Greipel won it.
While 3 stages is an excellent return, Cav has been averaging 5 up until this tour. I think he has an eye on Merckx's stage wins and wants to be multiple green jersey winner, both will be more difficult with Sky. He also reacted angrily when a journalist asked him how if felt to be a domestique, and described his role in the team as being like 'playing Wayne Rooney in defence'.
