He has gone on record as saying he wants back to back green jersey victories

Say that to Sagan, who is riding alone. I hate these rules 
But he will win anyway...

Of course, he needs to have some excuse ready, if the things are not going well.

Doesn't really count for Cav given the time he spends away from home but I've witnessed a number of professional sportsmen over the years having a big dip in form after having a child (the ones that didn't get sleepers ). Having spent the last 5 years being sleep deprived myself I can fully understand why

Veelers recovered nicely after he seemed out of contention by being in the wind far too early, but Bouhanni had full control, while Demare finished fastest.
Quite a youngster duo FdJ has with them. If this just wouldn't be the time of so many young sprint prospects...

FDJ has great prospects in these too, i think they will be there in the mix in July, they could steal some top 5,top 3's.

He won his first GC ever in his career last week, that's not bad mate
And anyway, I doubt she acts negatively on him, during the 2011 Tour they produced their baby and then Cav went on to win Green Rather positivity you mean
