Tour de France 2012

Cav looked furious crossing the line.

This might sound defeatist, but I predict a pile up.

No-one will be wanting to share a wheel with anyone and Cavendish's tactics/form is out of the bag.

It'll be double hard to snuggle in behind Goss, Renshaw or Greipel.

Not wanting to be smug about something so shitty, but...

Close enough not to affect the GC or not?

gc stays the same, it was within 3km

cool, they weren't sure on Eurosport

gc results are updated on cyclingnews really fast

no news yet on Eisel?

Apparently Bernie has a nasty cut on his forehead and has hurt his elbow, Cav has also hurt his elbow. Not sure how serious it is though.

always a shame when a crash spoils a sprint finish. Plus Greipel isn't exactly easy on the eye

Tweet of the day: Jens Voight's Army

"Ouch. Cleanup on Eisel 4."

the way Boassen Hagen is being hyped for this tour, you'd think he'd at least sneak into someone's top 5?

He's a great rider. He can sprint, climb and time trial so will be interesting when we get into the mountains. Thing is that he's always there, hanging about in 4th or 5th place. He'd currently 5th for green jersey and a similar positioning for the GC can't remember exactly where

he's 5th in the GC, a second behind van Garderen. I briefly wondered if he might have grabbed yellow today but that old 3k rule means yawn nothing changes

Which makes him second inline for the white.

Interviews coming in and Eisel says he hit Goss' wheel and went down when Goss went for a gap that wasn't there to get on Greipel's wheel.

by the look on that face Goss may have some explaining to do tomorrow

whoever was wearing that Suth Ifrican Jersey bounces like a mofo, did you see him, highside, hit the deck bounce, almost regain his feet, then actually slide along on his cleats..
Encroyable..

^^^^ Eisel looks dead hard, until you notice Haribo on his bed.

'Cheer up and eat your Starmix, Bernie...'

And he's got a bra strap mark ruining his tan.

Yeah good call Bernard... take your top off on a training ride to get some vitamin D... leave your heart monitor on. I wonder whether he stencilled a Playboy bunny logo onto his stomach in sun lotion.

Goss made an error letting cav into his train the other day.

You mean Goss did well to get onto Cav's wheel.

thats not what he said in interview

Not wanting to be smug about something so shitty, but...

How many flat Tour stages in the last 10 years haven't seen a stack in the final 10k though?

Today wasn't flat. Tomorrow is.

Interviews coming in and Eisel says he hit Goss' wheel and went down when Goss went for a gap that wasn't there to get on Greipel's wheel.

"Eisel told Eurosport that he accepted the blame."
