If the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, then it must fall everywhere in Britain. Andre Greipel took the bunch sprint after a soggy chase in which he had a few close calls. Greipel flatted twice on the run in to the finish, and his team twice had to scramble to bring him back into the peloton. Once he was back, though, he was a powerful force and basically ran away with the finish. A breakaway including Richie Porte tried to steal the show, but the sprinter teams would not allow them any daylight near the end.Stage Results/GC
1. Andre Greipel
2. Manuel Belletti
3. Greg Henderson
Tomorrow is a bit hillier, but should be another bunch finish. Look for Greipel to try for the repeat.
