"Cav" conseguiu a sua primeira vitória nesta edição |
After days of disappointments, the man of Team Columbia responded to the perfect work of his team reaching 11. Nd won stages in Tour
The "bad boy" of the sprint is back and at the highest level. Shut up the critics that Mark Cavendish win the Tour again, relaunching its aura of best sprinter in the peloton. The merit will have to share it with your team, Team Columbia, relentless in pursuit of flight of the day and preparing to attack the goal.
The train of "Cav", co-author of his seven wins in last year's edition, left the priest himself, only in the final meters, as with most rivals out of the fight. And this time, the British did not waste the work of their colleagues and hit the goal line Boasson Hagen and Gerald Ciolek to secure their first victory this year, 11. º in three editions of the "Grande Boucle".
But the rider of Team Columbia was not the only star of the day. Highlights were also Jurgen van de Walle (QuickStep), Jose Ivan Gutierrez (Caisse d'Epargne) ae Julian El Fares (Cofidis), who jumped from the peloton at km 13 and fought until the final ten kilometers. The last of the "brave" to give up the trail was the Spanish champions, who with a mission to find a sponsor to ensure the continuity of the Caisse d'Epargne in mind, withstood up to four kilometers from the target.
In the serene leadership continues Fabian Cancellara, immune to the confusions of the league.
