Stage 18 was uneventful from a casual spectators points of view - adding in some ways to the uneventful finish yesterday when nice-nice took precedence over an all out fight for the finish.

Norwegian Thor Hushovd must have disappointed the many Norwegians who had lined the streets. Its not that he didn't finish first Cavendish was the favourite there, but that he finished a dismal 14th and as a result he slipped to second place in the green jersey sprinters' points with Cavendish at 197 pts just six points behind Hushovd who now has 203 pts. Alessandro Pettacchi - who is part of a drug investigation in Italy - leads the greens with 213 pts.
