Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
As the end of the first stage of the 2011 Tour de France neared, chaos erupted, with a crash enveloping much of the peloton. Phillipe Gilbert stayed clear of the carnage, gutting out a sprint to the finish to easily take the stage victory and earn the right to wear the Maillot Jaune.
But what does fellow rider Mark Cavendish think? He puts the win in cycling terms we can all understand (H/T Mr. Tyler Bleszinski).
Just saw todays last kilometre. Gilbert humbled everyone with the equivalence of pulling down his pants to reveal a 13incher. #YIKESless than a minute ago via web
