stage 05

so cavendish finally got his stage win.



it looked like the sprinters may have stuffed it up again, as the little frenchy almost made it to the end in his breakaway.



most tipsters picked sprinters with half picking robbie, so there were a lot of sprint points to be earned. chris' team 01 seems to be streaking ahead in the green jersey comp as well as having a handy lead on gc. remember, one bad tip in the mountains and you can lose over 10 minutes. last year someone was leading the comp and picked vino in that stage where he went really bad and lost so much time, that tipster was then on the bottom of the leaderboard for the rest of the comp.



so, a semi mountain stage tomorrow. not the hardest climb, but enough for the main gc riders to maybe flex their muscles and try to wrest the yellow jersey from the back of the german. we will have to see.
