Yeahright said:Lets see:
1. Firstly he made sure (unlike a number of others) that he jumped on the break on the Côte de Roche aux Faucons. Then he let Andy kindly tow him up to Frank: Good tactic by him, bad by Andy.
2. On the Saint-Nicholas after an ineffective attempt to gap him by Andy, he counter attacked and dropped Andy who had to smack it to even get back on. In doing so he sent a clear message that they were wasting their time even trying to ride away from him.
3. On the final climb you will see that Phil pretty much spends the whole climb out of the seat ready to jump on any move that Frank may have made. This effectively shut Frank down though personally I could not believe that he did not at least try to put some pressure on Phil.
Tactically and psychologically the Schleck's were beaten well before the finish.
Yeah he showed his strength at the end but as usual you attempt to reduce everything down to its lowest common denominator.
So, what you're saying is that '...he followed the leaders and beat them in a sprint.'.
Gotcha. What's a denominator?
