I always try not to overdo in first 2 weeks. Little details that sum up and pay out in last week. Then put the hammer down and let others sweat early in stage. Playing some cards up there or just do some selections by letting team make high tempo in mountains.
Sometimes I chose good GT teams, sometimes some sprinterteams or just smaller teams to make as much trouble in breakaways as possible.
Like always in last years, Rabobank is a good compromise I think. You can sprint with Freire for green with some support and they have good climbers and GT guys. Of course, with Menchov was easier.
During GT, I think going for green is the hardest competition of all.
If find it harder than going for yellow.
Its also fun, if possible, to give away a leaderjersey early in race, and let breakaway win with large gap. But there were nearly always teams who do the work, even in mountains. Too often in PCM 2009.
But I feel that it changed in this 2010edition or with this db.
Again yesterday. I love it when no one helps me or some other teams.
12 minutes is great. Chase on Pineau can begin.
I like those Voeckler and Arroyo GTs.
