    It's a springboard for a long range attacker on superlative form. At least it gives an option, but I'd lump it in with the Poggio at San Remo. i.e. a potential, but any attack there will have to be all or nothing
    It gives an opportunity for a team to cause a bit of chaos.

    Senor Nibbles perhaps....

    Exactly what I was thinking. He likes going for along one in the one -dayers.

    Looks like EQS will ride to stop any attacks though :(

    5k, Wellens, then a few seconds to Caruso, then a few more to the peloton. Caruso not looking like catching him now.

    Valverde. From the front, sticking it to the wheelsuckers.

    Could someone remind me: will cycling fans around the world be happy or crying?
