Tour de France 2008 - Stage 5

This one was one missed as I did what I could to recover after surgery. I've yet to watch the entire stage yet but I have checked out the highlights and am happy for Cavendish and his win. Looks like George had a mechanical and still made it back up to the front to help with the team. The garMEN group all finished with the same times with it being a sprinter's stage and Julian got a top 10. :-)
