      It turns out Wiggins crashed on the corner after Cavendish did.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



      May the Lord bless this post.

          what a thrilling 2.4 seconds

            It's generally better to watch on telly.

            What was the atmosphere like?

              an hour before they came in, it was buzzing with excitement. Then they came in and it was a bit of collective 'oh' as they zipped by and it was over and done with. The pace of it took me by suprise incredible speed. Similar experience to being at the F1, good day and novelty factor but once is enough and viewing is better on the tele

                Yep, that sounds pretty normal.

                It's much more about the anticipation than the action. Even on a Tour mountain this year, it was just "here come the leaders", followed a minute or two later by, "here come some more" and then later, "here's Wiggins and co" and finally "ooh look, it's Cav". And then immediately, "Come on, we'd better start riding down before all the camper vans head clog up the roads."

                But experiencing the atmosphere of a live race every now and again makes watching it all on telly more exciting for me. I unconsciously transpose it on to the action.

                    I was looking for the Guerini crash and found this:

                    Jens Voigt Rant on Spectators (Tour de France) - YouTube

                    It's got the Guerini one and the terrible Abdoujaparaov crash too.

                    Jens Voigt is just great. Lovely bloke too - I met him briefly in 2007, thanks to Helios.

                    He announced the other day that he's signed up for another year. Voigt that is, not Creed.
                    It was supposed to be Jon Voight

                        This team Sky documentary is really interesting.

                        They do love a 'marginal gain'

                          I haven't watched it yet - all on Sky+ to keep me going during the off-season. But yes, they certainly do.

There's a rule that if you are hampered by a crash or mechanical problem inside the last 3km then you get the same time as the group you're in. So Cavendish even was awarded the same time.

                                Of course there's bonus seconds for intermediate sprints and for the finish so Rowe leads on that. But there are 35 riders within 10" of him, including Cavendish and Wiggins (and Tiernan-Locke, who is one to look out for).
