Aye, HTC for the win but I'm not sure how it'll work for who's in yellow. Surely whoever crosses the line out of Velits, Martin and Van Garderen first in the TTT would get the yellow, not whoever crossed first today?

I already did,  1 but if you look at OLO in the Giro, could be Gilbert in yellow, but it is a bit longer course.

I've decided just to go with my original game plan when the transfers open.

The whole thing is a mess because Saxo might try to get someof that minute back. BMC might up their game, but I don't think they will want Evans in yellow so early.

As thomas is ahead of wiggo, if sky win the ttt, then GT will be in yellow. But I think radioshack have a chance there with the likes of leipheimer and irizar.  19

On the tdf site there is a complet etape classement.

They split on Hushovds 6 seconds for the second crash. So Wiggo, Cav, Andy Schleck, Leipheimer, Brakovicz,Basso Fulslang,Renshaw and some others at 6 secs. Then they split at 1.20 includes Contador, Mollena, S Sanchez, LL Sanchez, then at 1.55 which includes some of the guys that did well in the TDS and DL like , hesjedal,Kreuziger,Gadret, ciolek, Boom.

The big losers
Arroyo, Kiryenka,Zabriskie, Van De Velde, Voigt

At the moment www.letour.fr is showing Gilbert topping the mountain competition (with a massive 1 pt) with Cavendish second - so is Cav wearing polka dots tomorrow ???

And I thought he was more of a sprinter than a climber. I take it all back. I know nothing. Cav for the polka dots !

There was only 1 point to be had today, so Cav dont have a point, in theory he cant wear it

But it would make a one off collectors items, a Cav polka dot skinsuit

I meant is there a complete GC yet? So we can establish who from crash one lost time on the group in crash two.

Edit: found one. Contador 1:14 down on Schleck

Anyone got any idea about the GC? was the 2nd crash inside the 3km, and will AC and AS get different times? Brilliant final 10km.....

Someone may try and tell me that Cav was simply trying to beat Pettachi and Hushovd, his main rivals for the green jersey overall . . . .
Maybe Cav's a bit more savvy than i thought . . .

Nasty fall dodging road furniture.
OPL rider fell, and half of team high road were involved.

No way Cav will win now.

No sign of Cavendish at the front. If he was any good, he would be in the 3 man breakaway with Roy et al

I knew he was rubbish.  4
