What did he do, shower and have a coffee _before_ the finish line?! I
thought it was him leading in the last run down towards Digne.

Sylvain Chavanel?
"After a number of unsuccessful attacks on the final climb, Frenchman
Sylvain Chavanel (Cofidis) surged clear on the descent and tried to hold
on for a solo victory. He was caught with just over two kilometres to
go, though, and the stage was set for the third bunch finish in as many
days."

No Sebastien, the younger brother who's a sprinter and had a bad day,
Sylvain, aka Mimosas, is the one who keeps trying to win a stage ;-)

The current big bang is the result of the explosion of
google servers from a previous universe.
