    If I had a GC teammate out the back and was in the front group I'd hit the front and slow up. Tens of times until someone pushes me off my bike.

    You don't think that going full bore up the outside, positioning yourself first wheel then just stopping pedalling may be a bit dangerous?

    GC: Ryder, Scarponi, Peraud, Frank out the back

    Anyone see Nibs ups front?

    With the break under control and so many affected I'm surprised no-one has slowed the peloton down. Are there any 'leaders' anymore?

    Will Cancellera tell the peloton to slow down and wait?

    Sucks to be Danielson, one separated shoulder and just shredded the other one.

    Gesink can't even hold the wheel of the chase group.

    Of course. Bike racing is dangerous.

    Obv, you wouldn't slow up size. Gradually so reducing by 5km/h, let them make the effort to come round. Repeat.

    It's cute she takes Delilah along, but what about Finn? You never see him in the photos.

    Pesumably he's at school!

    When half the Peleton is down then I think they ought to hold up. The crash was about 20 odd k out. Bad form, I know that early stages are like this but this is too big. Still not good form. :x

    Goss should win this easily, no other sprinters left!

    I see your point, but the way you're going about it is all wrong.

    Basically, you want to muscle in to the paceline at the front and then just sit there. Don't come through, do stupidly short turns and don't pull all the way over when you do and make it hard for people to come round you.

    I guess that is the only way Goss can win.
