Hopefully he'll take the green jersey this year. He has come close before but that from positions of being way back.

it's his to lose!Originally Posted by McNamara That Ghost...
got a lot of respect for this guy........apart from looking forward to him powering to the line in a dog fight like sprint, I also look forward to his interviews......one of the most down to earth sportsmen I have heard speak for a long time, not only does he praise his team first and list the names of the people that rode hard for him to take the glory but holds his hands up to mistakes made and his gracious in defeat........wonder if anyone we know could learn from this......shit it wouldn't do any harm to get them into a room together - Cavendish speaks French you know!
I'm back. Loved the finish yesterday - I thought Cavendish had gone to soon! Very exciting!
The intermediate sprints are bringing a lot more excitement too - a good innovation to make these count - IMO.So much pressure on these sprinters/team leaders when you have other riders workind so damned hard for you.

In the mountains today.
Very happy they'll eventually be going to the Alpe d'Huez this year, although I doubt the riders will be as pleased as I am.
Yep - now to see how Contador's doping programme has worked. I'm backing the Schleks.In the mountains today.

Likewise. Contador is going to have to break clear at least twice I would say. Not sure that will happen today given it is Bastille Day, at least one French rider will try to take it.
Thomas in the virtual yellow jersey at the moment for what that's worth.
The interesting thing will be to see whether riders from other teams are prepared to work with him in any breakaways - because I agree with you, he's going to have to make a decisive move. I love the mountains, because finally the overall potential leaders have to break cover.
Voeckler will be desperate to retain yellow today...
I'd also like to see Geraint Thomas back in white.

Voeckler just went off the road, nithing too serious but these bikes anit made for French roads
