Roderick said:The biggest problem is that the DS's of Sky doesn't seem to know what the strenghts and weaknesses are from their riders. Everybody but them knows that EBH isn't a guy for the "cobbled classics". He can't handle neither cobbles or the cold. And then they sent their best cobbles guy in the attack in P-R at 120k from the finish.
That isn't the biggest problem though! Although I do agree with you that Hayman shouldn't have been sent in the break at that point. Their biggest problem is that Hayman is their best rider on the cobbles and when you're up against the best in the world that doesn't leave you with much chance of winning!
Cancellara and Boonen have between them won 7 of the last 9 PR's and 5 of the last 9 RVV's. Boonen's teammate also won 2 RVV's almost by default.
That doesn't leave much for everyone else!
