Because they are a team that doesn't sit at the back and do nothing like Rabobank atm. They try and BMC and I believe that GVA and Santa can do the job.

Kind of funny that the one major 60km attack that BMC didnt try to chase down this season was the one where they had a rider that could win.

Maybe its the principle of people attacking from 60k rather than wheelsucking till the time trial, that team Cadel doesnt like :p


jj with the 2nd paragraph.

Kind of funny the difference of reaction. When Cancellara did this in Ronde everyone cried about how boring it was, even though he pulled a rival for 50km.

But when Nibali does it at Lombardia its the most interesting thing possible.

When cancellara goes, you (rightly or wrongly) get the feeling that the race is over. This is very much uncertain, and therefore exciting.

Only Txurruka pulling and some Sky guys once in a while. Well no way Txurruka is faster on the flat than Nibali.

He will have to crack.

Sky, Euskaltel, Kausha & BMC all need to dedicate a rider to go flat out for 10km. This ain't coming back if they don't.

Nibali has to keep going at this point. It would be silly to stop now.

And hey, the gap's going up again.

Mollema seems to have had a flat tire, same as Astarloza..

Seems thats why he isnt in the front group.

Which is what often happens if it isn't a sprint stage in which all teams have 8 riders.

I dunno why I got called an antipodean for this, don't even know what it means to be honest:eek:
