can't believe vacansoleil aren't chasing they7 should be punished severely

They are recovering. There are still a lot of intermediate sprints to contest in this Tour. Flecha and Boeckmans still might get 6th and 10th place in the green jersey competition. Also, Poels might get a top 25 on GC.

presence of talansky ensures that the pelaton wont give them much of a lead.

Good move by OPQS. Trentin can outsprint most of the others in the break

There are a few fast men there: Rojas, Albasini, Simon. Don't know how fast Trentin is though.

Your understanding of tactics is ****.

They'll play the Kadri/Brutt card first, let Sky/Cannondale/whatever control the race and then pitch in should the gap get out of hand

Didn't know they were there but why would sky control it? They can take 10 minutes for them and if it was to become a few minutes, take 5, cannondale wouldn't chase anymore.

do you think that the break can stay away till the sprint point?

That would be a terrible pity as this is a great chance for Flecha to add an additional ten points to his total.

apart from rojas, i think trentin can handle the others. He is a decent sprinter, and he has trained with cav.

Rojas doesn't matter.

No matter what field, he'll finish somewhere between 3rd - 10th.

you are under-estimating the veteran

Just look at his results this and previous years :D

No matter what field, no matter if against Cav, Greipel, or Lasca or Lobato.

He finishes somwehre between 3rd and 10th, i expect that to continue.

It's a tradition by now :p

The only time I remember Rojas actually winning a sprint was when he beat Contador in the national championships (?) and even then I thought Contador had a chance. :p

What would happen if Rojas and Oss got together in a two man break and nobody bothered chasing them? My guess is that they would crash into each other and both sustain race ending injuries.
