Bet they're having a sweepstake on who gets to interview Cav. Loser goes in.

Cav might get a rollocking at dinner for sitting up and not getting third to enable Martin to get the yellow

Doubt it. His job is to win. Telling him to hang on for a minor place wouldn't work with him. He has a binary personality. Etixx will be pretty happy from today.

I see Porte was in the chase group. Now, that might bode well for Thomas, because Porte should now just be riding as a dom and Thomas can ride for a high GC if the opportunity arises.

Da Gorilla has delivered! Massively delighted for Greipel. Tactically very smart. Loved the way he was sitting patiently waiting in the wheel of Cavendish, who was blowing it all out from the front, and then the big man came swinging around at the right time.

Looked to me like Renshaw went past the Greipel's train a bit too early ... then died, so Cavendish was left with no choice but to go long.

I was wondering how much Renshaw was responsible - it wasn't his best delivery. I thought he faded early.

Agreed. Was watching with my son and as soon as Cav hit the front, I said he's gone too early. Renshaw definitely partly to blame.
 
There was a tweet earlier in the stage to say that the 1km to go inflatable had been taken down due to concerns re the wind - would this impact on lead-out trains or are they fairly aware of distances to go? Just musing...
