Stage 11 spoiler

Go on Mark Renshaw ! Headbutting Dean out of the way, spot on as Dean was leaning on him big style ! Another top sprint from Cav. Looked very edgy on that run in, was expecting a pile up i must say !

Mental! Never seen that before! That was so naughty! Bad Mr Renshaw.

And Petacchi in Green. Wonder how long he can keep that. Thor's got to hunt the intermediates now - but Petacchi has said he wants them too. Could enliven the transition stages.

Hushovd finished 7th. WAHEY

I thought Renshaw was a bit too aggressive but Cav was electric again

Cav goes to 4th in Green standings. 29 points behind Petacchi, More than possible.

Really? I though he was legitimately warning off Dean who was trying to come across diagonally and cut off Cavendish.

Provided that Thor doesn't bother to hoover up some of the sprints points on the more difficult stages where Cav will be struggling- which he certainly will be bothered to do. That's the difference between winning Green and winning sprint stages.

Farrar is back in it too. Shame he bust his elbow, may have even got 2nd today but he got blocked and had to stop sprinting to move around. Thought Sky might have a go but it was a bit shambolic their lead out efforts.

 

[woohoo]

According to this

Mark Renshaw is out of the Tour

What's Renshaw's likely punishment? If he was ejected from the race wouldn't that really hamper Cav's chances in other sprint finshes?

Yep, Renshaw's out. He and Dean have leaned on each other several times in the last week in the lead outs. From the air, you can see Dean almost lock elbows and I think Renshaw had really had enough. Head butting is probably a bit too much though.
