Maybe the wind? 
Or maybe there were a lot of speed bumps

Won't Cav lose a bit of his sprint speed if he keeps losing weight? Quintana is having a great season 
Pozzato sucks!

He'll lose a little speed, but he has to, otherwise he won't make the finish in the first group.

Agreed but I'm hoping for him he doesn't lose to much and gets beat in the sprint. Is Sagan riding the Olympics?
Pozzato sucks!

Cav differs from other sprinters like Greipel and Kittel as he doesn't use his power in the sprint but the speed of his legs. This means that losing some weight doesn't have that much influence as it would have wit Greipel and Kittel for example..

Sagan is riding Olympics
2nd, yeah loosing weight will affect Cav's speed, less than if Greipel did it but it still will.
But his focus is on Olympics. He doesn't target green, he targets few stages and then backs out and lets Wiggo do his job. After Olympics he'll probably gain weight again and over winter train his sprint so he can target green next year at Tour.

I just realised that Franco Pellizotti was riding the Route du Sud. He lost 23 minutes to Quintana.

Joseph Dombrowski wins Giro Bio ahead of Fabio Aru. What a achievement for him *claps and appaluds*
Cavendish wins ZLM Toer 
Never thought, I'd see winning a yellow jersey
Stage 4 ZLM Toer :
1. Kittel
2. Renshaw
3. Roelandts

Very impressive by him. Lost three minutes due to a badly timed puncture but still came back and destroyed everyone. What an amazing talent he is.

Anybody knows what happened to Cav in 16th? And where's Greipel (not in Top 20 from CQ)?

Cavendish didn't sprint I think he did he Wiggins celebration from Dauphine if you know what I mean No idea about Greipel.
Btw, this result surprised me in Slovenia. Brajko gave Pozzo win yesterday, but Brajkovic defo disappointed in the TT, beating Pozzovivo by very slim 10 seconds...
I am sure Brajko didn't go 100% and stayed safe, but still. He wins the overall though.
