    Rojas presumably the best sprinter in the front group, although I haven't seen him sprint for a while.

    Think the winner will be coming from this front group. Gap out to 20 seconds now

    Possibly. He'll do very well to hang on over the final climb though

    My SkyBet on Kwia might pay off... didnt have the nerve to go outright... went e/w .... he does look good.
    GVA made me £30 last weekend.

    Of course, but I think Kwiat, Gilbert and Albasini would back themselves against each other so need to bin him.

    Gilbert has to attack on the Bemerlerberg right? Can't see him beating Kwia in a flat sprint.

    Actually there's not really anyone in that front group I wouldn't mind winning. Maybe Rojas, he's a bit of a nit.

    I've been marking essays. Is that Haas in the front gorup?

    LOL I think they've got themselves in a position where they dont have to. if the break comes back that suits Movistar and Valverde if it stays away that suits Movistar and their sprinter, either way they dont need to work :)

    Movistar - never knowingly over-classy
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Similar to Quick Step in a way then.
    Both Sky riders are working.
