Well, no surprise about the break. The big surprise was that it was allowed to go. There's no doubt in my mind that Cavendish's old legs weren't up to it and it would seem that none of the other sprint protagonists fancied it either. Please don't tell me that, with the generally predictable time trial, the final 3 days of Le Tour are going to be boring fare from the big guns.

To be fair to Mohoric, he livened it up by breaking away from the breakaway and dominated the last 20+ km. Some of the remainder tried to follow but didn't have the legs to last long in pursuit and just annoyed each other and cancelled each other out.

The peloton will be rolling in shortly, but I'll have a more exciting time cutting the grass, so I'm off.
