*** Tour De France - Stage 5 Carhaix - Cap Fréhel ***

Crosswinds , tailwinds , splits in peleton likely.
Added to all that a twisty turney finish with a very sharp bend 150/200 mts from the finish = chaos imo.
Agree cav impressive to get so close after nearly being knocked off by feillu other day. Evens is short enough all things considered . feillu quoted as saying wouldn't hesitate to block cav in again and I'm sure some of the other teams lead out men would do the same
Having said all that cav will probably bolt in.
My 3 for today
Galimzyanov @36s
Ebh @60s
Boonen @85s

Gl all

Do you think Cav is hard done to on the tour?
Obviously he is a marked man, no shocks there but seems like anytime he or his time try to hold their ground they are punished.

Perhaps there's more money to be made if someone else gets the green jersey.

Added ventoso@ 200s and laid cav @ 2.06. Too many variables for him to go off at that price

Let's hope we get some echelons today - maybe after the feed zone looking at the forecasts

Farrar at 5.1 makes a lot more appeal to me than Cav at 2.1

I think Cav has the form to win but HTC looked lost on Monday and today's finish is much more technically demanding. Renshaw doesn't look sharp and Goss doesn't have a lot of experience. I'd rather be following Millar, Hushovd and Dean in this finish

Cav asks for trouble so he can't complain and never sees anything wrong with his team,the Sky documentary shows his amazing arrogance.Wouldn't back him with today's finish.

Really hoping for a split peleton when the turn south at Erquy...with BMC [Hincapie] & Leopard [Spartacus] driving it away from SAXO....with the win going to the fastest man strong enough to stick in there.

Thor ?

Gesink just went down

....and so did Contador

Crashes all over the place. Brajkovic out

cav showing a complete lack of proffessionalism.
If he seriously wants that green jersey he still doesnt seem to have got his head round whats required.
easing off & flayling hands in air prior to intermediate sprint line, could have done those histrionics after the line.

Thor H. 4/7 h2h against Edvald BH. at Will Hills ;-)

who laid Cav @ 50s?

idiot

madness, what an idiot...did it get taken or was he saved by the suspend?

How many times will David Harmon call the wrong rider at the finish this tour?

Useless tw@t who's got all day to watch bike racing with nothing else and still gets it wrong day in and day out!!

50s taken - suspender not to blame

4/7 landed

ITV4 got it spot on fadgadget

$120 traded @ 50.00.

Commentary probably helped.

That was obviously Cav from about 300m out,Harmon what an idiot.

Well done mim and other cav backers ,should just follow my PCM , ffs

itv 4 beckons from tomorrow Trickster

Cav will be unbeatable for the rest of the race

you have to say cavendish is simply magnificent. to finish 5th yesterday after getting badly baulked 1km out and today to win on an uphill finish and to do it without renshaw etc, hats off to cavendish

I watched it on Eurosport and never had a moments doubt that the HTC rider coming wide was Cavendish, he has such a distinguished riding style. Poor show from Harmon, really poor.
I get the feeling I got away with this one a little bit, hadn't really taken any notice of the little incline at the end, won't be making that mistake again.
Feel a little for the 50's layer but feel more upset I wasn't sat infront of the comp at the time.
