    That was a bit naughty by Bronzini.
    Pooley is going to get a puncture if she rides in the gutter all day.

    So, Cooke and Armistead, I've just been listening to them saying they are keeping their options open. Armistead if it finishes as a bunch sprint, Cooke if she gets into a break.
    What? How will that work then? ...The two strategies don't complement each other at all.
    It’s sort of the same approach the Germans and Americans have.
    Break – Arndt; Armstrong or Stevens. Sprint – Teutenberg; Olds.
    But their team players seem to understand each other better than Cooke and Armistead do/did.

    Jinx. Enough attacks, but nothing to truly break it up.

    Is only me who finds emma pooley annoying the way she rides....virtually every race its "I want to be the only one up at the front".....imagine trying to get any shelter off this garden gnome.

    I have to disagree with you on this one. Pooley is a heavyweight. You'd like her - superb climber and not afraid to attack from distance. She has done some HEAVYWEIGHT solo wins for hours.
