its been bonkers all round... No idea what too expect on a daily basis...
Just can't get my head around how good Podacar is...
And Cavendish last stage win was a masterclass - made it look so easy.
Only just seen that stage highlights this morning but that was a masterclass in how to use a lead out train.
They had that technical finish under full control that last KM
I watched it live but refrained from blurting the result on this thread, cos people might like to watch the highlights without knowing the result. Although these days not stumbling across the result is far more difficult than it was for The Likely Lads. (Oops showed me age again
)
It was great and another example of how elite athletes these days can remain competitive far longer.
But as you say - textbook lead out.
Wonder if the rolling village that is the Tour will allow the Manx Missile to equal Eddy Merckx's record of 34 stage wins.
