Brailsford said EBH will take it easy today, the job that earns him money is just about to begin.

Well, at this Tour - yes. At top form he can shed peleton to around 25 riders like last year, so he will be essential in defending yellow. His form is questionable so far. Doesn't look at his top form so far.
Count, I'd be nice if they did them again

Maybe Orica will sign him next season to be a leader of their rock band? |

My expectations for him are always fairly high, but he somehow still manages to amaze me over and over again.
Mass sprints literally seem to be the only thing he can't do well in.

If he gets beaten by Sagan that will be embarassing. |

Yeah absolutely! Definitely one of my 5 favourite upcoming riders and a real all-rounder. Watching him at that Gent-Wevelgem was funny but also amazing.

Dumoulin had to go full on the breaks during his time-trial, due to the cars riding close to Voigt braking and going left, while Dumoulin wanted to pass them on the left.
That probably cost Tom a position, since he was 2 seconds slower than Roy.

Stupid overpaid idiot. Leave Sky ASAP if you don't want to ruin your career.
He can't win time trials and he can't win the sprints and, realistically, he is never going to be good enough to do either consistently outside of Norway. He isn't a great TT rider, he is very inconsistent there and he is a second teir sprinter at best. So this is how he can make a career for himself.
Just take a look at this stage wins in 2011. A few years back he was seen to have "unlimited" potential and could basicly choose what he wanted to become; a sprinter, cobbler, TT'er or a stage racer. And be world class at it also. It's wrong to say his talent was wasted, but I don't think Sky has been the best choice for him, in a certain way.
On hilly/tough stages he can either shred the pack or go in a break. Like I said, just look at 2011.
On the topic of Cav: You know what they say; I'd rather be pissed off then pissed on.

Sagan currently 9th at 2mins18. Quite impressive ride.
Are green jersey points awarded on TTs? |
