    Cavagna killing himself out front on his own... what was the game plan there? Will he hold on til intermediate sprint? Surprised that nobody else managed to get away with him.

    I've seen rival supermarket chains giving out polka dot t-shirts as well. The official website has Carrefour as the sponsor - I'd say E Leclerc would hit the roof if they read the English page! :D

    Seems weird that the mountains classification is almost always sponsored by a supermarket as well :confused:

    Unless he's being that sound (and I know they're good mates) I really can't understand why he's up there. He has no interest in green jersey anyway.

    Another point ahead of Sagan.
    9 for Bennet in the IS
    8 for Sagan
    Odds on now to finish in green, its Sams to loose now! 53 point lead.

    Job done for now Sam. Sit back and relax to the finish. Think we'll see Cavagna drift back to the peleton now.

    Assuming no TT points for either he will be wearing green on Sunday start so yep looks like his to lose

    Sam gone looking to try and make the breakaway!
    This stage could get very tasty.

    With 120 points available for Sagan, Sam needs 67 points from the next 3 sprints to be uncatchable - 3rd today, 3rd in Paris and top 3 in the intermediate sprint on the way to Paris would mean even if Sagan wins all of them he wouldn't catch Sam.

    It’s just a saying, I couldn’t give a fiddlers about bookies.

    Is there an intermediate sprint on the last stage?

    If Sam finishes ahead of Sagan in a bunch sprint then is he guaranteed green jersey winner?

    Yes there is an intermediate on Sunday

    And yes if he wins the stage and Sagan comes second he will lock it up, he will be +74 over Sagan with 70 to play for in the last stage.

    But as said the Time Trial offers points but its unlikely either will be involved
