    Probably, this was a goodwill gesture. Though obviously it's more likely that EBH will get ill or crash into a tree just before the classics season kicks off.

    EBH to follow Poggio attacks so he can win like Goss, and Cav to be lead out by Thomas if whoever. All bases covered.

    Yeah. Makes more sense that way.

    Who's going to be drilling on the front of the peloton on the Poggio then, if Sky aren't?

    Not sure Katusha have the firepower to do that?

    I think that Cav said before the start of T-A that he and EBH would be sharing things out...

    Planned move from Sky or was Cav dropped/crashed/busy doing other things?

    I'm led to believe he was washing his hair:

    Because he's head and shoulders above the rest...
    Good ride by EBH to hold off Greipel.

    Sky have now successfully tried and tested Milan-San Remo plans "A" and "B".
    Andre Greipel seems to have lost his sh*t small race form, too.

    Just heard that Lancarno has been taken out of tomorrow's route,
    which now just rolls along for 250+kms.

    Boy, so far this has been one stinker of a race.

    Coverage on ES and Sporza - seem to be favouring T-A over P-N today.

    Matt Goss going for it - he hasnt shown much so far this season, maybe coming good just in time for MSR?

    Liquigas seem intent on lining this up for Sagan to have a crack in the sprint

    2km to go, BMC and LeakyGas have essentially neutralised this stage, it ll be a bunch sprint of climbers...

    Nibali flies out of the bunch.....Bang!

    others pull him back

    Sagan attacks and wins - good 1/2 from Liquigas, Frandy could learn something from that!

    I hope every Coach in the world recorded it to show their juniors how to do work a 1/2 attack - textbook it was!

    Actually Nibali came up from nowhere, great work to bridge the gap!

    That's a big step up for Sagan, to win a 250km stage. Danger man for MSR and the Ardennes classics now.

    That was a satisfactory bicycle contest. Good work knights of the road.

    Sagan very strong - can climb and sprint. Looks like Gilbert will have serious competition this Spring...

    Di Luca right up there just as he was last year.

    I wonder where Gilbert, Evans, Garzelli, Pozzivivo, J-Rod, Scarponi came on this stage.

    Scarponi and Evans weren't far off.

    Gilbert got shelled out quite early.

    Today's stage looks very much like the parcours of this year's World Championships in Limburg. There's even a 1.5km flat after the final climb. How strong is the Slovak team to ride for Sagan, I wonder?
