    Mind you, I thought it was a bit mean of Robbie McEwan to put his pump
    through Mark Cavendish's spokes.

    Isn't Davey Millar slowly moving up the GC though?

    Hate to, but gotta hand it to McWhiner for a great comeback from the
    crash and beautiful sprint.

    Uh-huh. I don't like him as a person - at least in so far as his
    personality is reflected by television interviews - but he's an amazing
    bike racer. With 5 Km to go it looked completely impossible for McEwan to
    get back in...

    Don't you ever wonder how often other sprinters are fouled up by their own
    train, while an opportunist like Robbie ignores his team mates when somebody
    else has the better wheel?

    Regardless, Robbie's speed coming to the line made the rest of the field
    look like they were going backward.

    I didn't see that but did I see an elbow used to get a yellow man out
    of the way?

    I didn't watch, but was reading the cyclingnews "live" coverage later,
    and when they were saying the peloton was not strung out at all with a
    few K to go I thought "Oh, McEwen may come back." Bingo. But I don't
    like the guy either. Great rider too.

    Today it sounds like he had to use his "train" -- they helped him
    catch up in the last 10K.

    Last year didn't he have an awesome leadout man in the big tours?
    Steegmans I think.

    15:41 BST He blasted through the pack with such a turn
    of speed that Boonen's hair flew forward with the gust
    of wind. Thor Hushovd got second on the far right ahead
    of Boonen.
