Romain Feillu wins a big, big race. HC. GP de Fourmies.
First time he beats good sprinters in a bunch sprint.
He's proving he can be more than a fighter with a reasonable kick....it's the first time he's actually showing he can maybe be a sprinter too.
It was hardly a top quality sprinters field though (looking at the Top 20 at least), it looks like Casper and Hutarovich were the best on paper.

Quite right SN, but it's a good step towards showing he can win bunch sprints 
Also, very very nice to see Reus winning, especially in a direct confrontation (no stage long breaks)

Sorry to dissapoint you there (i think) but Reus's win came from surviving the day-long break. (It was great nonetheless)

yep, long break as SN says. But very impressive, he attacked with 20km to go, and just put everything into it. He managed to keep a gap down a dual carrageway where the peloton were going very fast.
He managed to keep 9 seconds above the peloton, enough to take the yellow jersey.

Very nice win for Reus, fully deserved, has he extended his contract for the next season?
Eventhough a norwegian 1-2 with Kristoffe and Hagen would have been even nicer I'm pretty happy for Reus. He was a big talent, and I'm sure he has a lot more to show us in the years that comes..... |

Had a bike problem on the final flat stage.
Some other guy also in a france jersey offered him his bike. So he took it. He forgot that France has more than one team. He's on France A and the other guy was France B, so it counts as another team assisting him. For which the penalty is 2 mins.
Could've lost the overall for something so stupid

The crash was really bad. Kritsky has a broken leg. Too bad for him. He was a shoo-in to be world champ at least in the TT, and had a good chance to win the RR as well. Something no one's done in a long, long time.

Oh Dude, don't underestimate this.
He went with 20km to go and the gap was not nearly enough for a normal 1 person guy to hold it. And it was one straight road almost.
Peloton even split up in the end. Riders came asking Erik Dekker how it was even possible that Reus stayed away. They didn't understand |

For Reus it was a case of 'do or die' though I've heard. This would've been his last chance/race to earn a new contract...

Once the tour is done, i may upload the final km's (with a god awful commentator), it really was impressive. Well done to him.
It was a straight road on a highway style road (Vuelta style!)
