Cavendish Again


O' Well, another sprint, another win for Cavendish. At least the breakaway was caught this time.
I don't know about every body else, but stage 10 was more boring than the ride to Paris after all the jersey winners have been determined. The sprint at the end is becoming old hat. Tomorrow doesn't promise to be any different with the exception of two cat. 4 climbs nowhere near the finish.
This may be vulnerable for another breakaway to hold on and win.

Prediction for stage 11. How can you not pick Mark Cavendish? Although he may tire out some on the two climbs, I think he will still be there at the end. What's New?

1. Mark Cavendish, (GBR), Team Columbia, 04:46:43
