Sky played a very canny tactical game by getting Thomas in that early move and then having Flecha follow Boonen and Cancellara across. I'll be impressed if Geraint can hang with this group until the finish, though.

Breschel has made his move with 22km to go and so far no-one is chasing him down.

Why are they letting Breschel go?

This is it if they don't act fast..

Well, The Canc was performing some medieval Swiss torture on them for a good 10-15kms.... That'll soften you up something frightfull.

But Quick-Step is still very weak as a team. Usually they'd be up there with four guys and try to mop up this attack.

That's what I ment. Boonen should have followed Breschel himself. It was obviuos Canc destroyed any hopes of a good working chase group.


Ah, there he goes :))
