Big win for my boy Mark Cavendish, and second only by a deep dish rim Tomika Boonen. The next several years of watching these two go toe to toe is going to be awesome. Although with a bit of pre-stage ski pratice I think Tom could have pulled it off... wink-wink. ONE DAY LEFT TO THE TIME TRIAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Today we pack up for Santa Barbara and get ready for the Solvang Time Trail. Now lets all cross our fingers for big Floyd Landis to kiil it tomorrow.

It wasn't plain sailing however; Cavendish was nearly pipped on the line by a fast-charging Tom Boonen (Quick Step) but held on to take the win, with Juan José Haedo (Saxo Bank) in third.
"It's massive for us and for the team," Cavendish said about the win. "The team did so well today. They stayed with me on the climbs and with a flat run in like that there was only one outcome that it could have been... when you have a team like mine.
"We got the lead out right - straight past the Cervélo team - and we saw how strong they were yesterday. But when they [Cavendish's teammates] drop me off with 100 metres to go, there could only be one outcome!"
