Pretty killer finish by Cavendish on stage 5.
Stage 6 is up next. Longest stage of the Tour and a shot for sprinters to take charge. We'll see if Contador can hang on before stage 7 and 8 when they enter the mountains until around stage 11. If not I can only see him losing another few places which I can't imagine is a fun place to be this early in the tour.
Cancellera is on top for points followed by Geraint Thomas(sporting the white jersey for best young rider) and Cadel Evans.
Maybe the second most significant thing about stage 5 is that it was crash free in a race that to date has been laden with some brutal accidents. Having a stage on the Paris-Roubaix course probably didn't help. Anyway, there are some pretty gnarly pictures up on the Gaurdian website that are worth a gander here.
Anyone want to hit up the Joynt pre-ride to watch the action?
