Is there another climb left? Surely the only chance for the chasers is if Canc and Flecha starting playing games with Boonen.

jsoeee said:Yeah i wasn't trying to imply a conspiracy, it was just quite obvious in one section that the front group had 2 motos to choose from for 20 seconds or so as they were trying to pull away. I'm sure it evens out in the end..

So, predictions?
I say Boonen in a sprint between the 3. Rabobank not to get within 30 seconds. Obvious option I know.

Rabo comes to 20 seconds. Flecha goes. Boonen and Canc start looking at each other. Rabo makes it back to them. Boom makes a last KM break. Pipo outsprints Boonen. 1. Flecha 2. Boom 3. Pozzato.
mmmmmkay?
