Just checking in right now, this from yesterday:
Cavendish/Rooijakkers spat (video H.264 MPEG4, 512×384, 13 sec, 1.3 MB). So who started it? IMO Cav took his hands off the bars first and shoved Rooijakkers where he almost crashed into the guys next to him.
by tedvdw on Jul 6, 2009 9:22 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Yup
Just watched that. Unless there’s some pre-clip action between the two, Cav’s way out of line on that one. I’d have kidney punched him, too.
by Sui Juris on Jul 6, 2009 9:23 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
according to CN, Lloyd Mondory started it
A spokesperson for Skil-Shimano confirmed that Rooijakkers had been the rider to strike out at Cavendish, after being pushed into the line of the Columbia-HTC train by Frenchman Lloyd Mondory (AG2R La Mondiale).

Update
104km to go
Saxo Bank still at the front of the peloton trying to bridge the gap. Not suprisingly, Columbia are behind them. Obviously they know the risks associated with today’s stage and want to ensure Cavendish is near the front to avoid him being caught out. On the left hand side, there are some Cervelo jerseys moving Sastre up. Rabobank are also on the far left moving up, looking after Menchov and Gesink. A move could happen very soon. The gap is 10:38.

The break are about to climb the second categorised climb of the day, the Col de La Vayede. After the descent, comes the feed station. The riders will be awaiting that. It’s tough out there for them today. They need to re-stock the best they can as I feel within the 30km after the feed station, there is going to be some major action in the peloton.

Maxime Bouet is still the leader on the road, as he trailed the Maillot Jaune by 1m39s in the GC. The worst placed of the four leaders is Samuel Dumoulin, who was 2m42s behind the Fabian Cancellara at the start of the day. With a lead of 8m03s, these four could well climb up the standings, albeit for one day only.
The peloton are now climbing the Col de La Vayede. Kurt Asle Arvesson is doing a mountain of work at the front of the peloton. The work he does for his team year in year out is phenomenal.
