Sagan left the tour so one less sprinter to have to worry about at the finishes.
Downside is without the bigger names, the teams can send stronger riders in the break to get stage wins. I doubt Pollitt would have been allowed to go on for the stage win if Sagan was still there. Saying that, it looks like it was a lets recover the legs after yesterday for Cav and others.
Well done Mark Cavendish. 33 and counting.

If it wasn't for the football Cav would be the sporting story of the summer.
Tour left Céret (15 km down the road from us) for Andorra today. Couldn't be arsed going down though.
