You could see Martin give Eisel a look as he pulled off.

It was Thomas > Hagen > Swift. Hagen lost Thomas' wheel - could have worked better than Garmin otherwise.
Swift lost EBH's wheel when that Quickstep rider went to the side. And then EBH lost Thomas before the turn
Yeh, I was watching Thomas and in the overhead shot he got squeezed by other riders moving right, and that was it for those following him.
But really, Thomas is too strong to just be working as a super-leadout.

Of course they will go for green, you'd be ignorant to think otherwise.

They should just go for the win all 3 of them Swift, EBH and Thomas filling the podium! |

Some weird stuff going on in this sprint with trains going nowhere. HTC fails, Katusha winning the sprint at 5 km to go and Thomas who has a gap to the rest with 1 km to go, very hard it seemed.
Garmin is having a mega start, theyre doing everything right. |

Congrats to Farrar who just edged Feillu. Great lead out by Thor (i'm not norwegian) who made 90% of this stage victory from Farrar. Farrar was quite slow to be honest, i think if Feillu went earlier he would take the win.
I saw Cav reversed his head to check who's on his wheel and then he lost Renshaw's and Goss' wheel. Then he tried to slot behind Farrar. But at the corner with 800 m to go i think Hagen or Swift tagged his rear wheel and Cav went wide. And from then he tried to close the gap to Farrar's group. 5th place is really a good effort to salvage from situation in which he was. I'm sure Cav will win some stages later just unlucky for him. |

Ah okay seems a bit better than at first sight. I'm pissed at not chosing Feillu and Engoulvent though. I was so damn close... Farrar and Rojas was too expensive and thus not picking them. Atleast Hushovd gets point for teammate and yellow... Dean was a good pick

People even give credit to their team when they loose big time, gotta stay loyal in front of the cams |

If that was at me and my comment, I can say, that I was being 100% sarcastic, everyone knows they are going for green with Farrar, thats why I had the "..." at the end

Oh my god, what a buggy sprint by HTC! I didn't see any tactics in their sprint. They really messed it up. Absolute disaster. |

That final turn with the cofidis crash was the key. Thats what really caused Cavendish to lose position.
EBH gets squeezed and almost crashes, which forces Cav wide, Duque crashed, and a gap emerges for the first 5/6/7 riders

Farrar is doing the right things for green aswell, taking intermediate sprint in stage 1 when he has no chance to win it and leaving the intermediate sprint today when he can win alot more points at the finish. |

Poor Eisel..he is not popular guy at the HTC..falling yesterday..step off early today.
Martin should left a little for mountains also.
Cav was still realy fast at the end.
Garmin have theyr best GT ever so far |

Indeed it wasn't over for Cav until then when he ran out wide and lost momentum.
By the way it was Dumoulin who crashed |

Even though the HTC train failed it was nice to see Cavendish fighting for the points! He really wants that jersey! |
