Stybar the next to attack?
He could have eased up a bit waiting for the big group coming up behind with several willing domestiques in it.burning said:vladimir said:Benoot working for Gilbert. Utterly stupid.
Did he have any other options at all?

Well, if he would have waited at any point he'd be in pretty much the same position he is now, but a bit fresher. So yes, he did have other options.burning said:DFA123 said:He could have eased up a bit waiting for the big group coming up behind with several willing domestiques in it.burning said:vladimir said:Benoot working for Gilbert.

Wait from 60k to go, or 35k to go? If he waits 35k to go, his race is pretty much over as fresher riders will join the group. And, the 3rd group was nowhere when GVA attacked, so no point in waiting there as well.
