I think Boonen looks better on the climbs. If he gets 10-15 secs over the Muur, it's over. I'm probably wrong, I just have a feeling.

With a minute I wouldn't pull thru much at all if I was Boonen. He must know an attack is coming; that is the only way Canc can win.

I'm blown away by the form that Cancellara is in just now. Is a RVV PR double on the cards? With the E3 already in the bag, maybe it's generous to others that he decided to take a day off in GW. Thoroughly enjoying the display of power of both riders, and kinda hope that Boonen is a bit better than he looks, and is just playing it clever, and keeping a fresh sting in the tail.

Muur I believe. Cancellera keeps massaging his right thigh. I wonder if he's cramping.

As good as the change was, the puncher must have taken a little bit out of him that he could pay for near the end.

But Cancellara isn't stupid, he's not going to do all the work.
 
The Millar group is cutting into their lead, ever so slightly. The Hincapie group is going backwards.

After I hit send, the gap goes back up to 51 seconds. I'll keep my nickel commentary to myself.

True, but he knows this is his best chance, to stay away. He doesn't want for the others to catch either, and Boonen probably doesn't care. Interesting tactics.
