    About your Cannondale comment, Nibali was riding a cannondale yesterday and so was Duggan so i guess if its your trade bike you'll be riding it today.

    Very surprised there are so many riders left in contention. Just goes to show how easy this course is.

    No, I wouldnt call it 'easy' FF, I race similar roads LVRC and its as hard as you make it or others want it.

    160%. All of the people complaining about Cavendish not delivering have probably turned over to the badminton.

    Bit of uncertainty in the main bunch. It's gradually going out. No Dutch and Brits to drag them along.

    Edit - now they're getting it together.
