Popovych (Astana), Gutierrez (Caisse d’Epargne), Arrieta (AG2R), Millar (Garmin) and Duque (Cofidis), the previous breakaway are errm 46 seconds back, darn!

CocoCay, Bahamas.
My mom and I went on a cruise a couple of years back. Toss up whether the highlight was parasailing or the treetop obstacle course on St. Martin—ziplines, rope bridges, swings—it was a blast.

Before that, Freire (hurt?), Cipo (ignored), Astarloa (can’t recall), Vainsteins (out)… it’s a bit rare.

Phenomenal sprint - Cavendish truly brilliant there
..can’t argue with that talent, though Thor & Ciolek pushed him hard.
So when was the last time a person won 5 possibly 6 stages and didn’t win the Green Jersey?
So wish Cav hadn’t lost those points – would have been “mano a mano” between Thor and Him. Such a tragedy for the TdF points competition and so pointless (no pun intended)
