To those complaining it's boring: **** off and do something else then watch the highlights on TV tonight! Can't imagine why anyone would expect a GC attack fest from the start today, it just doesn't happen like that on this sort of terrain.

See you think this is a reason not to attack, I think it is a reason to attack. Sky have proven last year and this, that riding tempo to the last climb and then kicking it up on the last climb is their bread and butter, they also show every classics season that all day high pace is not their forte, so test that. Of course if you are racing for second and have no interest in first, for sure sit in.

Trust me. Sitting at an airportis 10 times more thrilling than watching this stage. Cav only got dropped halfway through the 2nd hc.

Wasn't Evans being dropped the new measurement of how hard is the pace up the mountains?

I agree that dudes are incredibly demanding on the forums.

I would point out however, that the only tactic shown to make an impression on Sky is to up the pace early, shed most of their team, and then set to work making Froome/Porte chase everything.

Only Saxo are really interested in actually trying to break Sky though, and they are, understandably, pretty knackered and discouraged.

Even Fat Crazy Bert has to be low on morale atm.
