I was very impressed that prior to today's race, he acknowledged his loss yesterday was about Kittle having a better day (rather than making excuses for losing). More than that, he was open enough to admit that perhaps he is being replaced as the best sprinter, in the same way that he replaced whoever was best when he came on the scene.

Yep, I got some new respect for Cav, who like you said has always been a cocky man.

It made me smile to see him win today. He was so happy, like a little boy getting a new bicycle! ha! Good to see him get that record of winning the most stages of anyone (25).

The Contador activity/Froome added to it being an interesting stage today. I hope you got to see some of it, Daktari.

Aye, I got to see the highlights last night. I've not been watching the the stages in their entirety. It's on in the afternoon and it's far too sunny to stay in watching cycling on tv when I can be out on my bike actually doing it.
I was so pleased for Cav getting the stage yesterday and a little taken aback by his gracious interview about 'best sprinters' and getting beaten by Kittel. Young Cav is growing up...awwwww!

This last week of the tour is gonna be B.R.U.T.A.L
