alphseeker Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) :PToday everyones hero Jens Voigt did his thing again 120 kilometers on his own to claim the King of the Mountains Jersey. Not bad for a 42 year old. It will be a sprint finish today. Edited July 5, 2014 by alphseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Bummer for Cavendish after that crash. Looks very much like a broken clavicle; he was clearly in terrible pain and I'll be surprised if he finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his own fault, leaning in too much into Simon Gerrans.Leave it to Fabian (Spartacus) to stir things up at the end.

alphseeker Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Wow - Tomorrows stage has 9 categorized climbs - No sprint finish that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 While I don't have a tv set at home I might as well go to the pub, have me some beers and watch the Tour. I prefer the mountain stages over the flat stages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yeah flats and TT's are pretty boring, although this year there is a critical Roubaix cobblestone stage that may break some of the climbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Cavendish seems to be growing up - A classy admission that he was entirely at fault. Too bad he separated his clavicle from his shoulder.

alphseeker Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Nibali takes over the Maillot Jaune on day two. Thought Sagan was going to take it but Nibali had the legs over a max 33% grade hill right before finish. most of the Top GC contenders together at the finish.
