    I knew I should have stuck with the danes.
    Mads is in the break.

    Did he use Cav as a ramp or just clean jump over?!

    Hard to tell but it looks clean like he didn’t even touch him.

    But to me, its racing, his move was ok, he had more speed, you can’t just get up to speed and then stay behind someone slower, you’d cause a crash, so yes his move may have caught out Cav, but Cav could have moved aswell, like everyone has to when he swings round people, Cav didn’t move at all

    I think your dislike of Cav is affecting your judgement.

    Yeah that was a great move, bunny’d right over him, then his team mate slammed right into Cav. I can see it being the end of his race aswell, not many more flat stages left and if he’s got a knock, he’ll be out to recover for TdF

    An extra 10 points as last man home? Think I will axe him though and risk having no BMC riders

    So, with Phinney out, I would say BMC no longer favorites for the TTT. Gotta be one of four teams, right?

    Garmin
    Sky
    BMC
    Green Edge

    Who you got?

    From cycling news 2 mins ago – Taylor Phinney is back on his feet and retains his overall lead.

    its the danger of the move, its not a slight deviation its a violent movement…in my book it was pretty poor.
    To me it shouldn’t matter if he was ahead, he should be more aware before making such a dramatic move.

    Same as Rosberg in the F1 last week

    Really?? People saying Ferrari should be punished?

    Thats a racing incident, its not mirror, signal, manoeuvre in racing, it is what it is

    I wouldn’t say it was poor from Ferrari, He was ahead of Cav, moving for position to get his sprint going. Its the sort of thing Cav likes to moan about but does himself all the time

    Question from a layman – what
    Question from a layman – what happens in this situation with Ferrari? Will he come in for any punishment, or is it just seen as part of the racing?

    If Phinney crossed in the ambulance then is that a Welshman in the Pink Jersey? Not the way he would’ve wanted it, but chuffed for Thomas all the same if thats the case. Gutted for Phinney.
