I don't think so, I really don't. After the second time some unknown French or Russian guy wins a flat stage, Garmin, Lampre, Green Edge etc will grow damn restless. Cavendish would be disappointed of course, but can still use the race as training for London and abandon before the mountains, which assumingly will be ok with Sky too. Other teams will be ****ed.
