    Ok, hands up, I posted in a hurry and phrased that very badly :oops:

    But what I was trying to get at stands - they haven't entered a particularly strong team for the Tour, Millar's good for the odd breakaway like some of the others, Mayo, well, yeah, but it depends which Mayo turns up - the climber or the bloke who was getting pushed up mountains last year. So ... publicity. What else?

    Jens rules. Such a nice guy and a damn good cyclist to boot.
    Hope he gets at least a couple of stage wins when he gets in those breaks.

    I know, so why go all out on day 1? Better to save your energy and target a stage where you have a better chance of staying away.

    Disagree; this was home soil and he gave the fans what they wanted and he got a jersey to wear for at least 2 days..........

    Good on him, shame for Cav but he's got time for another stage.
