    Right Guys cards on the table - Cancellara to launch a lone attack and TT the last 25km to the finish :D

    If it can't be Cav, then Canc for me please. As long as it's someone who's done a bit of work.

    Why are they blabbering on about a 1 min lead being a disaster? Don't they know how breaks are caught?!

    When the break is 30 riders strong and contains Cancellara and Valverde then it's not the same as a Tour stage with 5 random French guys up front.

    Very strong break, only two teams chasing, one of which has been working all day.

    On top of that people like Cancellara, Chavenel etc will be going solo fairly soon.

    Not so easy though when you've been chasing the whole race. And that's a big group, with very strong riders, not your usual no hopers looking for a bit of TV time.

    Yeah it's basically the peloton and GB have been dropped...

    That doesn't mean it can be caught.

    The issue seems to be that so many of the other countries are represented in the break, so their team mates in the peloton have got a legitimate reason to sit in and do nothing.

    In a funny way he might be helping Team GB by making the break mess about.
