That was pretty cool. He's been around and doesn't
need to take heat from anyone.

kiwi thing.

Yes, there's a greater kudu and a lesser kudu.

Well, call me old fashioned, but if you're a lead out man then you're
supposed to get your sprinter to the head of affairs rather than
simply annoy the opposition. At the time of the "head butting"
incident, Farrar isn't actually on Dean's wheel, but is behind
Cavendish and dithering as to which wheel to follow. One thing's for
certain it isn't Dean's. Looking at it again, Garmin's moves do seem
odd, particularly from above. Firstly, Dean has evidently forgotten
about his man and appears to be going for glory himself. Doh! When
Cavendish goes, Farrar initially moves across to the left to follow
him but, failing to get on then moves markedly to the right which
brings him behind Renshaw. Renshaw then takes him back to the barrier
but I can see that my first thought that was a worse move than the
head-butting incident was wrong. It was just stupidity on Farrar's
part. Why would you deliberately move from chasing the favourite back
into the path of his lead-out man? You might not think you're going
to beat him but surely if you concentrate on chasing him and have a
clear path to the line you should take it? If Garmin continue to ride
like that it won't matter if they get the whole of HTC disqualified
somebody is going to beat them every time...

If you know there going to be some gameplay, you want a bit of space
in case they come down..

If Butt-Head wanted room on his right, then he should have pedaled
faster and no let Dean speed past him on a good line.

Um, Dean moved over on Renshaw in order to squeeze Renshaw and then
Cavendish.
First offense was Dean's. One head-butt might have done the job, and
deservedly so.
