Can Cav take green?
I predict he'll go for the stage win and not worry about green, just see what happens.
IIRC, the green jersey contenders never contest the race to be first onto the Champs Elysee. It might be seen as bad form if he tries to steal those points from a glory-huntuing breakaway.
That was another incredible performance from Cav yesterday. Who needs a lead-out man? He was so far ahead by the time he crossed the line, he was looking back round to see where the hell everyone else was. Simply astonishing.
Looking forward to seeing Brad go for broke today. The course should suit him nicely. Guess it's just a question of whether Cancellara has recovered from his monster pacemaking effort on the Tourmalet.
If Brad does win today and Cav wins in Paris, that would mean Brit riders have won the final three stages. And six overall - the same number of stages won by French riders this year.
