I'm not sure I've ever seen Cav lose in a straight-up drag race like he did today. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Has this Tour spooked him?
Kittel has really arrived in this Tour with 3 stage wins. He was cranking in what looked like a much higher gear than Cav and his pulls looked seriously powerful. At 6'2", 190 lbs, he is a real specimen, especially compared to Cav's short, not-so-imposing physique. Some might say that Kittels first stage win in Corsica was a fluke because the best sprinters went down in a crash, but he is the real deal now...
So, whats with the Germans this year?
