It would have been fun to see Kittel vs. Sagan battle for green. It also would have been interesting to see if Cavendish could have made the time cut and made the points competition even more interesting.
Green jersey is on loan from Sagan to Kittel this year.

You can tell this course was set up after Last year for big Kittel vs Cav battles and the possibility of a dominant sprinter beating Sagan.
Only we don't have Cav or Sagan so we just have processions.
A shame but on the plus side for me work this week has been hectic and I don't feel like I've missed out on any of the tour.

Cavendish would have won 3-4 stages, but I don't think he'd be a threat for the green.
Greipel has been disappointing.

Greipel won an early stage didn't he? I want to say he has won a stage in every TdF he has competed in.

Excited to get back into the mountains tomorrow with Stage 12.
Last two sprint stages were pretty meh overall though I was really rooting for Bodnar today to steal Stage 11 with his final solo break away.
What I love about Le Tour is the involuntary sympathetic peddling my feet start doing (whilst on the couch) when I'm watching good, competitive racing.

Greipel has been really disappointing. Watching the last few K of Tuesday's stage, I thought Lotto was setting him up perfectly. He had a great shot to contest for the stage win and he fell flat. I don't know what's up with that.
On another note, Lance Armstrong mentioned on his Stages podcast that he saw Greipel's power file from one sprint. Max power: 1790W.

Anyone watching?
Hopefully we ses some moves on the final climb. I think Froome will try to win this one.

I think we now see that Froome has a chink in his armor. Sky will still have to control the peleton. If other GC riders are smart, they can take more time. With the final TT being short, the GC race could be interesting--Finally!

Lost 22 seconds in about 300 m. That climb is a bitch.

When Bennett attacked around 1K to go and Landa just rolled him back in, I was convinced this would be a snoozer all the way to the line. Glad I was wrong.
