    Who are Astana working for? :oops:

    So is the big discussion point for this week going to be, why is Amstel a bit boring?

    Makes a change from sky criticism!

    Gasparotto, probably.

    AGR and Fleche Wallone are boring because if you put a steep hill at the end of a race, everyone fears the steep hill and ends up waiting to make their move on the steep hill.

    Will be interested to see if Henao of Sky is up there.

    Ponzi attacks through a feed zone... always scheming, that guy.

    Breakaway split up (two still up the road), and peleton starting to thin out dramatically.

    I'm betting Sky won't be able to get him back.

    Good time to attack potentially? Get a bit of a rest-bite from the remnants of the break

    Haven't got used to J-Rod in Kastusha kit. Looks odd!

    Voecklers still up there. Chavanel a bit far back.

    Interesting move for a sit in Sprinter (TM)

    12 seconds normally would be a good gap.


    Someone like J rod or Gilbert can eat that up and some on the Cauberg....
