    And fails.

    So has the chase already given up on working together?

    I think that is a bad move. Gotta have faith in hayman etc they have been so strong over the classics and ebh and flecha have been wasting that team effort imo

    Flecha is bored...who was it that had the awesome bet on him?

    Someone who is going just slightly mental at the moment. Over 1000-1 wasn't it?

    Maybe, good for Team Sky though...EBH and Hayman can just sit up and make everyone else chase...

    Edit - or not....

    I guess, but I think Flecha is more likely to win that EBH, so if it's a team tactic, I would have sent EBH down the road...

    I think flecha is the sacrificial lamb, coming back from injury EBH is their guy

    Boonen maybe know something about the weather forecast the others don't?

    If Boom goes I expect Ballan and flecha to follow but that plays into boonens hands

    Yes. He is flying and Sky not willing to work with others sitting on their wheels

    Harmon claiming Merckx as a Flandrian? For shame

    Have to say, he's looking bloody comfortable. Still putting time into them and Sky looking like it hurts.

    I reckon he can do it.
