Again Cavendish!

My video recorder has betrayed me again,so at the moment I'm slightly annoyed.
Btw,let's talk about the stage:in the first kms Pieter Weening (Rabobank),Jeff Louder (BMC Racing Team),Cameron Evans (OUCH p/b Maxxis),Matthew Crane (Jelly Belly Cycling Team-I want to buy myself a car like the ones of this team because they are amazing!),Curtis Gunn (Fly V Australia) and Glen Chadwick (Rock Racing) started a breakaway.The first two-thirds of the stage were long flat roads,with only seven turns in the first 100km."It was pretty boring; we were trying to make jokes just to pass the time," Chadwick told Cyclingnews."The best joke we saw was a 'dangerous descent' sign out there on the flat.That was probably the highlight of the day!" (go on: http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2009/feb09/california09/?id=/photos/2009/feb09/california09/california095/live4 if you want to have fun...).

With still 20 miles to go Louder and Gunn were dropped from the breakaway group,that was finally caught with just 5 kms to go."I don't know how they do it,but the ProTour teams always know how to time it," said Chadwick. "It's like a minute for every ten kilometres. So we had three minutes at 30kilometres to go then two minutes at 20 kilometres to go!" Poor guys.Between the riders who pulled in front of the group there were also the two brothers.Frank seemed to have dry clothes,so this means that he's luckily been able to find a hairdryer or something like that during the last few days.Regarding Andy,I think he was particularly interested in this thing you can see on this link: http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos/2009/feb09/california09/?id=/photos/2009/feb09/california09/california095/JD_09TOCstg5033 .
