Talking of which, am I imagining it or does it look like Cav is getting more help from the Sky leadout train so far this year than he did in the whole of last year? 
(SPOILER) What, no ToQ thread ?

Terpstra, Eisel and Phinney with a 2'20" 20 sec lead at 15km to go. OPQS putting the hammer down on the front of the peloton. This race just got interesting!
(edit: oops - misread the screen caption - it's 20 seconds, not 2 minutes 20. No chance of staying out with this far to go.)

And there you go, they've been caught with 13km to go. Can anyone stop Cav making it 3/3 now?

One question: is it Barry Markus or Markus Barry? Matt Rendell seems unsure. He looks a decent prospect either way.

Fantastic finish. Great effort by Hutarovich but he is, after all, a mere mortal.

Class lead-out from Terpstra too.

Well, that was an example of Cav doing it the traditional way. And just as impressive as the other wins. Plus 3 Brits in the Top 5 today, and 3 in the Top 10 overall (and all from different teams). British cycling seems to be starting the season rather well.

Does this mean that barring a complete disaster, Cavendish is likely to win this tomorrow? As 15s is more than you get for a stage victory, and there are no mountains that could put Cav down the road from the peleton?

Pretty much. The only thing that could stop him is wind (no, not that kind...
I mean, significant gaps created by strong winds and Cav getting caught on the wrong side of a gap) - or a crash / mechanical before the 3km point.

He looked pretty awesome at the Tour Down Under. His team also seemed to be in good shape for delivering good lead out trains. Looking forward to the first clashes between Cav and Greipel
Indeed....at the moment I would say it is looking better for Greipel, but it is hard to compare. Greipel has destroyed his opposition, whereas cav hasn't been quite as devastating on his batch of 2nd rate competitors (by 2nd rate I mean not one of the top handful, Greipel, Goss, Farrar etc....though where Farrar has been is another story).
