    I'd just like to register a complaint about the thread title, but I suspect I'm not the first.

    Gap increasing. Front 4 are crazy strong. Can they keep it up for the next 25km

    Though Jose reckons that's the top 4.

    So if your Sagan's DS, what do you do now?

    Etix slowly losing ground.
    Why on Earth didn't Stybar make an effort with Rowe and GVA?
    Job would have been done.

    Indeed, miss the break and if you've got the numbers it's down to you to do the work. Make the break and you don't have to work. Stupid tactics.

    Tell him to try and save his legs as much as possible for the sprint. What else can he do, he won't ride away from the others now.

    Legs not good enough.

    As I've said, when the knife is drawn on the race Quick step don't have the legs.

    Ay and Etix find themselves in no man's land, once again. :wink:

    Yeah you get on the radio now and say, the only way you get paid is if you finish 1st or 4th. Any other position as the race is now will cost you.

    Sagan always seems to do more work than anybody else in a break.

    Lefevre will be going mental about cowards not working with Etixx again but they put themselves in th position with six guys in the chase group after failing to get anyone in the break.

    This is quite fun, but really Etixx are embaressing.

    Think he's doing well to hang on to be honest. Fabs looking strongest to me.

    Think he's the only one who could. Etixx absolutely burying themselves but making little impression.

    I wonder what would happen if Sagan joined Etixx? Would it just make them both less likely to win anything?

    Cancellara is in 5kph-faster-than-anyone-else mode.

    Sep looks fucked on my dodgy feed.
