Good point. If he joins the break away tomorrow and snags a few more points he'll be able to hold it until stage 8.

 

[Donakebab]

Anyone else picked up that they are playing the crowd sound loop again? They haven't had it for years, why bring it back?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So. Many. People.

Dry your eyes with a kangaroo.

Had a page open checking if Fabs was even racing about 5 minutes ago, then he bursts to the front lol.

Kittel with the win. Cav looks ****ed, early guess is collar bone the way he's holding there.

 

[Donakebab]

Looked Cavs fault there.

 

[monty1104]

100% Cavs fault. Don't like to see people get injured, but he's got no one but himself to blame.

100% Cav's fault. It doesn't make it suck any less, but he can't blame anyone else.

Ultra pi$$ed at SBS. Would have liked to see a replay of the crash, would have liked to see a jersey presentation, would have like to see a post race analysis - but no, we get 7 minutes of ads and a cross to the World Cup. There's a thing called SBS2 you know - there's even SBS 3&4 which just broadcast the same crap that's on 1.

Froome 6th in a lead out sprint . I think I've seen it all now.

Well given that most of the sprinters were caught in the crash, it's not that brilliant. Navardauskas came 3rd for crying out loud .

If you can wait a few hours till the morning, downloading the Eurosport telecast is a great way to watch it.

Some good photos here. The Royals reactions to the ending was amusing.

It was still 65km/h finish, Im amazed he was anywhere near the front.

Taking notes from Cadel obviously.

Cav did a pretty stupid thing but will make sprints interesting

Kittel too good now. Kittel vs. Cav was going to be great.
