Want to geek out on Cav's latest sprint triumph? If the answer's yes, Mark Renshaw has just the vid for you. The legendary lead-out has all the analysis you could need of how Deceuninck-Quick-Step delivered their man for his 32nd Tour stage win...
Win number 33 today? Unlikely. Stage seven looks a real tough test for the riders. At 248km it is the longest Tour stage for 20 years and has 3,000m of climbing largely packed into the back end of the day. In our stage-by-stage preview, road.cc news editor Simon MacMichael highlighted the penultimate climb as the key point, with the riders tackling a 1.5km climb averaging 11.5 per cent with ramps of 18 per cent...and there are bonus seconds on offer at the top. Tasty.
This could have been a lot worse 😮

Here's an absolute shocker to start Friday. This CCTV footage from outside Gola, an Italian restaurant on Fulham Road caught the moment a lucky cyclist and pedestrian somehow managed to avoid being hit by an out of control driver. The vehicle can be seen drifting across the wrong side of the road before the driver pulls away from the pavement at the last minute, smashing into the zebra crossing instead.
Not too many details on this yet, but both the pedestrian and cyclist appear to have got away unscathed...the latter can be seen stood further up the road as people rush to the driver.
Plenty of speculation in the replies, along with several facetious questions of could this all have been avoided if the zebra crossing was wearing hi-vis and paid 'road tax'?
