Thankfully for he and his team, Steve Cummings was able to get a routine result on a day that looked all but routine for the Brit from Team Sky.Cummings had to overcome several mishaps, and found himself "Chasing the Peloton" to keep control of his yellow jersey.
Both times he was able to use his teammates and successfully get back to the pack.
Meanwhile Andre Greipel won the sprint for the stage, as he was able to just outkick his opponents at the line.Just about every other significant GC rider finished with the bunch as well today, so we are set up a for a beauty tomorrow.

Contador looks poised to take his first win of the year on tomorrow's ITT, but let me direct your attention to time trial "wonderboy" Tony Martin sitting just 4 seconds behind him. I think Martin can easily take all of them.
