Stage 4 Goes to ... Robbie McEwen

No shock here... it just seems like Robbie always pulls out the win at the end of these chaotic sprints. The CG rider who went down was NOT the Thunder God, who looked less than divine today unfortunately.

Although I respect McEwen's riding ability, I don't enjoy watching him. Not sure why this is so. I would have appreciated seeing Zabel win the final sprint - for ole time's sake.

The stage as a whole was relatively calm, but Mayo AGAIN experienced mechanical problems and had to take the bike of a teammate. What is wrong with this guy's bikes? does EE give their riders cheap bikes? Really, it's ridiculous.

Anyone worried about David Millar, who sits quietly back? Neither am I.

The Disco boys had a guy in the breakaway for most of the day, and they now have several GC contenders. Which one will be the "leader"? I still think it will be the Big Hink, but who knows...

Also, when will Landis make a move? Am I going to have to wait until the next TT? Apparently so... should be a showdown if Rogers remains #2. He'll look to take the yellow, and given his TT record, he could do it with a stage win.
