First win for Team Sky as well. Good to see them performing well so far. For anyone that likes their stats, some fascinating data going up stage by stage on here following Flecha. http://home.trainingpeaks.com/races/tea ... age-6.aspx

Wiggo just crashed and looks fooked.

Out of the race by the looks of it.

Some compo with Cav winning the stage. He was genuinely gutted when told in the post-race interview that Bradley had crashed.

Gutted for Wiggins and for the Sky team, how things quickly change in this race. Still great to see Cav win again but slightly soured by today's events.

Gerraint lost the white jersey also waiting to see if Wiggo could get back in the saddle. Brad on better form after some drug help for his injury. www.itv.com/tourdefrance/

Was looking forward to having a Brit to cheer in the mountains, will have to wait for the last two flat stages for more Cav so it's more a case of neutral enjoyment from now on

Slightly? Massively. Looking at the positives though, maybe he can take it as an opportunity to have a real bash at the Vuelta. It'll also be interesting if it makes him reconsider his plans for 2012 and decide to ride le tour after all.

Was he not meant to be riding Le Tour in 2012. (I know it's Olympic year).

In the interview I heard he made it pretty clear he'd be back for it next year and that the TDF is far more important to him than anything else.
