Err, I know Frank has a lousy ITT reputation, but seriously, do you think Cadel would want to start a 42km lumpy ITT, at 1'-35" down, on a rider who clearly has good form?
Factor in what happened when everyone said he would overtake Sastre in the 2008 ITT and you have an extremely precarious scenario.
I'm afraid Cadel will have the deja vu sweats, tonight.
He has to chase them both and he knows nobody is either prepared, or able to help neutralize either bro.
Plus, It's now almost certain things will boil over towards the summit of the Galibier, if not before.
They want first and second and Cadel is their only obstacle.
As a result, he's stuck between a rock and a turd place, as Sean Kelly might say.
