Thought I'd start this, although I have no great insights. Poor Thor got smashed, possibly by one of those green finger things.
I just love watching sprint finishes!

Very cheeky move by George
to get those 2 all-important seconds in the last intermediate sprint.
And congrats to Fabian Wegman for winning the covetted "King of the Overpass" classification.

Thor will smash...big green finger!
Ok let's talk amoungst ourselves: on to the next stage: looks relatively flat (as in "it would kill me to ride it"), another day for the sprinters? Who's left? Who's on first? Who will surprise us all? Will GG (gorgeous George) save his strength for the mountain stages?Fancy Schmancy Custom Road bike ~ Mondonico Futura Legero

If it is flat, Boonen or McEwen (who will he head-butt this time??

Poor Thor. That was a lot of blood on his pretty jersey.
Snap that Tour de Schmalz guy is hysterical - thanks for shaing that.
Wow. George. Super cool. I really wish we were there this year. It is such an amazing party over there when this is going on. And with the result less pre-determined than usual it would be more fun. Although the first year we went was 2003, and that year was pretty crazy.Sarah
