    Interesting stage, and nice to see a team realising that it doesn't have to be a mountain stage to go on the GC attack.

    As for the finish, wasn't the best of run ins was it, you knew they were going to crash as soon as that curve came into view. But it was heck of alot better than 2005 when they finished in Montpeiller, the roadbook for that year has something ridiculous like 11 "!" in the final 5 kilometres.

    Vino now has someone (Moreau) that if they can make a break, will work to put time into the others.

    Before he would have just got his wheel sucked on any attack unless he totally blew out the others.
