Bad luck for Millar, so close to the end, he's really not having a great season so far; this would've been great for him. Great win for Tinkoff though, finally one of their breaks make it

Cavendish said:
“For sure I'm not the strongest. I'm not even in top 10 of strong sprinters. But in terms of speed in last 200 metres my age plays an important factor. I'm able to accelerate pretty well and I'm probably the fastest. But I'm not strongest. I have to get there to be able to win.”

Anyway, nice reward for Tinkoff, shame about Millar, but it happens

I just watched that video wackojacko posted. Man that's funny
But I still feel bad for Millar, so unlucky for him but it seems when you're having a bad season you never seem to get any luck. Hopefully he'll get a break soon.

Brutt hit the line ahead of four chasers: Johannes Fröhlinger (Gerolsteiner), Luis Felipe Laverde (CSF Group Navigare) and Francisco Pérez (Caisse d'Epargne) were next home, while David Millar (Slipstream Chipotle H30) suffered a broken chain at the precise moment the Russian kicked clear. He was disgusted at the ill luck and threw his bike over a barrier, eventually going on to finish 119th.
Millar was however given the same finishing time as Pérez.
....
Fröhlinger finished four seconds back in second place and said afterwards that he was frustrated with the Russian's tactics.
"I am a little bit angry with Pavel Brutt because the whole day, he was saying he was not feeling good," he stated. "For the first 100 kilometres, he stayed on the wheels on every climb. Then he attacked going into the last kilometre. I think that David Millar had a problem with his chain. I was looking at Millar [to react] and waited too long; Brutt was gone then. I waited too long, because I think I was stronger than him."
...
Millar told Italian television after the stage that he was also unhappy with the way the finish worked out. "I was totally motivated to win the stage. All my rage just came out at the moment," he said, referring to his throwing of his bike. "I will try again, not tomorrow, but in a few more days. I hope to win a stage in this Giro."

Um.. what?
I point you to performances like in the Eneco Tour 2007 or in the Tour 2007 where in the mountains he took to the front of the peleton for Saunier and his tempo dropped a whole load of riders.

sure, he'll never be as good as in his EPO days (it's quite obvious he's nowhere near his performances of back then), but Brutt is a much worse climber and he won the stage, so it's not just about that.
Pérez was the best climber on that group by a huge margin and he didn't win, so...

Tomorrow's stage has been shortened from 265 to 231 kilometers. it now finishes on the same climb, but without the final 34km circuit.
