So, this is how it starts:
Stage 1 results
1 Mark Cavendish (HTC-Columbia)
2 J.J. Haedo (Saxo Bank)
3 Alexander Kristoff (BMC)
4 Robbie Hunter (Garmin-Transitions)
5 Jonathan Cantwell (Fly V Australia)
6 Marcus Burghart (BMC)
7 Guillaume Boivin (SpiderTech by Planet Energy)
8 Andreas Stauff (Quick Step)
9 Nikolas Maes (Quick Step)
10 Thomas Leezer (Rabobank)
Impressive, the run that J.J. Haedo, formerly dominant on the American scene (and with a few good ToC results, himself), gave Cavendish. Can it last?
