    Keep in mind that sprinters do not do much in a day. They stay well protected behind their team mates, and preserve all their energy for the last 300 meters or so.
    I personally hate that kind of stage where nothing happens all day, except for three or four poor sods who are led to believe they can make it to the finish line, when in fact the pack knows all along were they are and play cat and mouse with them. The use of RF coms on the Tour has made it even worse.
    But the day after tomorrow is the first mountain stage. Can't wait, especially with some of the cheaters gone, something interesting may happen.

    (I did 135 km yesterday, with a few steep hills and no sprint, and I AM dead (could hardly work actually).

    Just back from 480km over the weekend in Normandy. It's not as difficult as people make out. We would no doubt have been quicker had we had access to some of the medical facilities available to the professionals.

    From what I've heard, there was supposed to be something along the lines of "your MOther was a terrorist whore" said.

    Maybe as a pro, and a very experienced one, he should have kept it together, but still... I'd have aimed my headbut higher :)
