There’s really not much to say about today’s Stage 15 of the 2011 Tour de France other than what else can you say about Mark Cavendish and Team HTC-HighRoad? With Cav’s fourth stage win of the race, the Manxman now has a solid grasp on the green jersey competition. So here’s my question for your Sunday:

With stages on Tuesday and Wednesday that suit his talents, does Belgium’s Philippe Gilbert still have a shot at becoming the first rider since Sean Kelly in 1989 to win both Liege-Bastogne-Liege and the Tour’s green jersey in the same year?

About Whit

My experiences might easily fit many cycling fans' definitions of “living the dream.” Since getting hooked on the sport watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship, I've raced as an amateur on Belgian cobbles, traveled Europe to help build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux. As a former assistant director sportif with Mercury-Viatel, I've also seen the less dreamy side of the sport – the side rife with broken contracts, infighting, and positive dope tests. These days, I live with my lovely wife in Pennsylvania and share my experiences and views on the sport at Bicycling Magazine, the Embrocation Cycling Journal, and at my own site, Pavé.
