Cavendish has shown plenty of times that he can win without a leadout train. It makes it easier, but without it, he's still the fastest sprinter. And if anyone thinks that Greipel can't win without his teammates leading him out to the finish line, I'd advise you to watch the the 1st stage of this year's Driedaagse de Panne-Koksijde. You may learn something. |

I saw that someone mentioned troll in this thread. I must say that troll is very important creatures in the norwegian history. We wanted to build the nation together, and in the rural areas of the country it was a lot of fairy tales about trolls. These fairy tales were written down by the famous Asbjørnsen and Moe, and is an important part of the norwegian culture heritage.
I had an important exame last year in norwegian, where I was supposed to talk about how the norwegian nation was built together, and I chose to talk about how trolls had connected the nation. My examinator told me that I trolled in an exceptional way, and gave my A+.
It is also a fantastic nice movie about trolls that came recently. It is called "trolljegeren" (the trollhunter) which is a norwegian film about a guy that hunts troll, it is a very funny and fascinating film that I will recommend everyone to watch. The copyrights to this film was recently bought by americans, so I guess you can expect a hollywood version to come in not to long time  |

Nice victory for Bozic. Too bad for Marcato. He really seems to be unable to win anything, despite being a good rider. At least his teammate won. |

He gave up when he wasnt strong enough for the win! Good day for Bozic anyway! He deserves a great victory like that  |

21th in the Prologue for a capacity as Hushovd isn't good. He won the prologue of the TdF in 2006.
And no, he won't win a stage in Tour de France. If he's lucky, he can wait 3-4 years more and then win a cobble stage. He can't sprint with the best no more. |

wait a tour and decide after that
They will win,but thanks to their teammates as i wrote
as I remember ..younger Cavendish won sprints even without a super HTC train.
Best example..you would not build a sprint train at Milan-SanRemo
yeah, younger and not so fat
Go Roman!

I dont agree, maybe he is the fastest but actually we couldnt see him sprinting a lot this year as he was droped almost in every stage he started
Go Roman!

Well, saying that two of the world's best sprinters suck isn't that big of an enlightment either, not to say it's complete nonsense |

Hushovds plan is to go for victory in those two half hard stages and then take the yellow for some days

Soler seems to have fallen, though atm it's not clear how badly.
Meanwhile the peloton is mainaining such a high speed that there's a risk of splitting after 35 km. |
