Brian Smith's voice is starting to sound a bit like Frankie Boyle, I am half expecting to hear something along the lines of "aye, take a look at that Sagan - he's pish"

I'm going have to go to bed - this is sooooooooo dull.

Cav won again anyway...

Ta for putting these vids up FM. There's no way I'm going to sit slumped in front of my PC in the middle of the night to watch endless dreary Californian suburbs.

That stage did have the most tedious and bizarre finishing circuit. In that streetscape, you almost got the feeling that the peloton should have been riding kid's BMXs, ET-style...

Cav's finish was timed to perfection though - that was experience as much as anything else.

Nice win for Toms Skujins (Hincapie Team) - winner of last year's Tour de Beauce, in Quebec - although it seemed like the big teams' chasing group was being a bit lazy in not chasing him down until it was too late:

Guess who won stage 4?

 

[Keith Oates]

He had to win sometime but I would have been happier if Cav got it.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a canny sprint by Sagan. I like him and I'm happy he got a win to shut Oleg up for a while

I think you probably speak for a lot of us in that respect. Particularly the bold bit!

Terrible weather in Cal. Thank goodness I live in sun-soaked Brighton
