    So who I don't want to win:

    Anyone from Etixx.
    Sagan.
    Anyone from Giant.
    Anyone from BMC.

    Kristoff it is then.

    Terpstra has ridden a good race, QS have no business chasing.

    Kristoff is easily the strongest of thetwo

    He had Rowe and a knackered Yogi. The others disappeared just before the race started to split.

    He had Rowe until 20k. Sky did the usual control everything in the early part of the race but burn out the most useful riders too early. Might work in Grand Tours...

    Why is Terpstra doing turns? Stybar is behind him.

    That's pretty much always the EQS game plan.

    point I was making is you can't blame the team mates. They're just doing what they're told.

    See my earlier post about sky only ever chasing, never makimg an early movmove

    It's not a sh*t race, it's just the wrong winner.

    G3 finally riding together but too late as usual. Only way this is coming back is if they play cat and mouse which is also what Terpstra will have to do if he doesn't go soon.
