Sky still has to do some serious work on the lead-out though if they want to replicate HTC's dominance.
What on earth was wrong with that leadout??

Might as well make it a 16km circuit race called Kuurne-Kortrijk-Kuurne and save us a few hours.

His positioning was very good, he was in Cavendish's wheel.
