That's kind of the case I'm making against an obvious bunch sprint next year.
If both Sanchez' could do it on this type of parcours, so could EBH, Breschel, Kroon, Langeveld, Gesink, Gilbert, van Avermaet, Boonen, Nuyens, the Schlecks, Fedrigo, Voeckler, Rodriguez, Valverde, Pozzato, Nibali, Ballan, Cunego, Nocentini, Quinziato, Wegmann, Uran, Brajkovic, Ivanov, Vino....
Ok, it's a year away, but even now I'm pretty sure nobody will want to take Cav to the line and the rest of the British team will be blown away in the first attack of the final round.
Cipo did it in Zolder, but he had an Italian superteam to back him up and an even flatter course.
Boonen showed in Paris - Tours that he's not willing to wait for bunch sprints anymore and Belgium has an awesome tandem with him and Gilbert, Freire's teammates woud rather win a rainbow themselves than see him win a 4th, Norway has a better bet with EBH in a breakaway than with Hushovd in a sprint, Petacchi, Chicchi or Napolitano will lose everytime against Cav and Ballerini knows this. They will aim for anything but a sprint. The Aussies will want to show something on homeground, but it won't be in a sprint (I still believe Robbie would have been WC once if Stuey had worked for him, now it's too late)
Again, it's a year away, but I can't think of a scenario where Cav is gonna be there at the line.
Always fun to look forward though
