Anybody have the faintest idea what Cofidis's game plan is?
Id say they have the same idea as you (and me)....not a clue! I do hope we get to hear whatever spin they put on it when its all done and dusted.
Only thing I can think is they are after the team classification prize, but not sure if thats available outside the big tours, or here for that matter.
I remeber when millar rode for them and he lost the TT in the tour, and he eluded to them needing serious reshuffling, given their fall out of the top pro ranks and the way they are approaching this race/stage looks like it hasnt happened yet, you'd have to put it on the DS shoulders, its a bit of a mess it seems.
This has been a cracking TOT, thought it was a new race

cracking racing (mystifying at times

) cracking scenery, cracking weather, refreshing out of the box tactics.
