Nicki Sorensen picked up a point from that sprint 
interesting to note that Kittel and Greipel didn't feature |

I think Kittel not going for it is obvious. He will not make it to Paris anyway, so why waste energy in intermediates 
However Greipel was interesting one. Still I think the points jersey is just between Goss v Sagan anyway.

Yeah, green not on Greipel's mind but think Kittel needs to save every ounce of energy to just make Paris though. |

Phil Liggett thought Goss was Greipel yesterday, and now today thought Van Hummel was Greipel. Who is next?

If they paid more attention to the race than going on about the good old days, they would notice who the riders really are |

Awww Ligget bless him. Liked his ascertain that Martin was having a 2nd mechanical in the prologue as the director showed a replay of the puncture. |

I think we need a "Phil n' Paul Being Phil n' Paul" thread.

Boring stage so far. Maybe Canc will attack 20km out. That would make it exciting

Good idea and lets fill it with the most stupid comments that they have ever said |

Just in case prompting the attack for the break and riding with a dodgy wrist wasn't enough Roux takes off for the combativity prize. |

Hesjedal can't win every stage.
I'm excited for the sprint. I'm really hoping for a Goss win and a Sagan fail.

Bit of sad news, but we won't see Didi for the rest of the year so far. He'll come back stronger in 2013 though 
The 60-year-old German is only recently out of hospital, where he had to have fluid drained from his skull. The doctors have told him to stay home and stay quiet – a difficult task for Senft, who is well-known for his grimaces and leaps as he urges the peloton on during the mountain stages.
But don't worry, the Tour Devil has every intention of being back in 2013 and is full of plans to build even bigger and better bike models while recuperating! SW

Yeah shame, though it might explain something, wishing him a full recovery. Apparently he has a dodgy knee too according to Eurosport commentary but hopefully back jumping in 2013. |

Has Hesjedal´s new bike been posted before? Looks really cool, imo.
