News in brief: Yesterday, the pros on the tour actually had the opportunity to recover from the exertions of the days before. It probably didn't work out so well for the Dimension Data duo Mark Cavendish and Bernhard Eisel – at least at night. In any case, the wearer of the green jersey was visibly annoyed by the nocturnal noises of his roommate.
Yesterday morning, after a busy night, Cav tweeted: "Despite his help this week, I was on the verge of brutally killing Bernhard Eisel last night. You've never heard anyone snore like that..."
Despite his help the last week, I was still on the edge of brutally killing @EiselBernhard last night You've never heard snoring like it.

In any case, the answer from his roommate was not long in coming – even if he (surprise!) rejects any allegations. "I don't know what he's talking about, I slept like a baby!"
Not sure what he is talking about, I slept like a baby! https://t.co/TLANWK90MB
