With a 5 man team and one of them protected for a sprint, everyone will have to muck in a lot more than normal to execute their game plan."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

They know exactly what power they can push out and for how long, they are not flat out by anymeans as you can see by size of the main peleton, this will change on last lap I guessDave_1 wrote:surprised wiggo is burning energy on the front with much of the race to come...any thoughts?0 -
Griepel is glued to Cav's wheel - GB have to lose him on the final run in.Common sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom0

I'm more worried about Sagan. Looks like he's sitting in the midde doing as little as possible.Specialized Venge S Works

How do you work that out? How can they loose him when they asre riding tempo to keep the race together for a sprint when both Cav and Greipel are sprinters?NervexProf wrote:Griepel is glued to Cav's wheel - GB have to lose him on the final run in.0 -

Agreed. If thy get to the mall together cav wI'll beat him, there's plenty of history proving that. There will be an attempted break by the classics guys and it will be a case of can they be caught0 -
Sagan and boonen will be fresh as daisies - somebody else will attack last or 2nd to last climb and try and shell out cavenpish.0

Maybe he'll lead out Cav and then keep pushing for Silver?
He can't possibly can he? I mean the conflict of interest cries that go up re: Sky would be too much.0 -
