Take today’s sprint for example: Mark Cavendish won Stage 18 with … Continue reading

Things have a funny way of working themselves out, don’t they? As expected, the Tour’s trip over the pave of Belgium and Northern France produced the most dramatic and chaotic Tour de France stage since…yesterday.
