he has to exploit the efforts of the other sprinter teams from now.
on the other hand, he still has some guys who can work for him

And I don't think he has as much competition this year. For whatever reason Thor just isn't looking great, though he has been getting a lot of mid stage sprint points so he has had the jersey...plus Farrar has a bum wrist so he hasn't been much of a competitor. Petachi has really be the true competition.

You know Cav has to be fuming when that "old man" beats him or even challenges him. Guess you can't really count stage 1 as a fair sprint between the two, but I still bet Cav was quite angry.

Agree....I guess the real question is who is grabbing that other podium spot....I am still pulling for Levi...he ended up recovering yesterday on a climb that he said himself didn't suit him at all. He was looking bad but pulled it off a good finish.

Wow. Really looking forward to the next stage after what happened today. Let's discuss later. I don't want to add any spoilers too early in the day before people get to their DVRs.

Thank you Xela....I won't get a chance to watch the stage until this evening. And since they are in the Pyrenees, I am not following the race through Twitter during the day. Want to see these stages as close to live as possible.
