No point really, the problem is that you could only get away with it once before the other teams wised up to it. It could definitely work though.

Definately! I'm amazed no team has ever tried this tactic while it could definately work though.

pacing along hoping rain comes back which it should for run in, give us different winner.

The run in to the finish could be tricky. I think there is a 90 degree left hander at 300-500m before the finish (?).

Please.....stop the bullying.

Oh come on. I get the feeling he's bullying us and not vice versa or do you think he's serious?

I get the idea he's just fooling around. Trolling a bit... I mean this can't be true?

Can anyone tell me why any team other than Sky would want to chase on a stage like this (or perhaps better a completely flat stage)?

To show confidence in their sprinter.

Also you never know when your team might (or maybe did in the past) need assistance in a chase.
