The big news today was that the Tour banned the use of race radios on today’s flat stage. Of course, the riders rebelled, claiming that they needed their team car to tell them where the potholes are, and so evidently no real racing happened today.
You could have fooled me though. It was just like every single other flat Tour stage: a breakaway of between 2 and 9 riders gets away at kilometer 0, attains a lead of between 3 and 11 minutes, is brought back by the peleton with between 1 and 20k to go, and a sprinter named Mark Cavendish wins the stage. Today it was 4 riders, 4 minutes, 2k and Mark Cavendish.
We have another thriller of a stage tomorrow, and another no-radio stage on Thursday. It’s looking like my call of eleven stage victories for Cav may just come true at this rate!
