You can watch it right now on http://www21.sbs.com.au/tdf/?pid=vids

That was I think the best sprint finish I've ever seen (except maybe that one where Abdujaparov put his head down and rode straight into the barriers). 10cm in it if that, and Robbie had to come a long way around to even get to the front. Infact, if you look at the shot of the finish from the chopper, it's almost like Freire, Boonen and Zabel are standing still and then McEwan shoots off to the left through a gap and darts to the front. He's so much quicker in the last 20m than anyone else it's actually pretty mind-boggling.

Awesome sprint finish, just awesome.
