I totally agree with your point. If another stage win was his biggest goal he wouldn't go after intermediate sprints because then HTC will chase him every time he attacks.
I don't understand Pistolero's point about a special bonus...
I totally agree with Hitch on this. Based on Evan's performance over the last few years people didn't count him as a favorite for the podium but he is very strong this year. Andrew should watch him very closely.
I think this Cadel and Alberto bashing is really getting stale. Let's just wait for another 12 hours and I am sure we will get an indication of how each of favorites are doing.
