Easiest point in the history of cycling, he must have rolled across the line at
all of 8 mph.

He opened up a big gap first, which process I (Versus TV watcher)
didn't get to see, and had a teammate (Renshaw?) with him.
Might have been hard at first <g>.
Not wasting energy is paramount today, tomorrow. Big sprint coming up
soon, and meanwhile he's gotta make the time cut tomorrow in order to
take away the Green at the end in Paris.

I don't know, sound like a plan to you?

Bernie Eisel has a hard day of cajoling and swearing coming up.

> I don't know, sound like a plan to you?

Sounds like a good plan on paper which is where Cav wishes they were riding it
probably, 3 HC climbs is just cruel...ASO must love seeing cyclists suffer
almost as much as me.
