I don't think Flens time is good enough. Vaitkus already pretty close.

Suspect Rosseler or Chavanel to go faster, and then Westra

I'm not that bothered about his inflated salary as such, thats not his fault but you have to at least make some sort of effort, and compromising his teamates in the race is unforgivable as mentioned earlier.

Francois the Postman said:
It could well be that that 4th place in the Tour has given him a huge salery, but also drawn a premature line under his career, it seems.

He's drawn a line under his own career by using the track as a safety net. If he had committed fully to the road he could have carved out a decent career like Millar has done. Or like Boardman and Yates before him. But he hasn't. He doesn't want to work for other people as he's The Great Bradley Wiggins. And The Great Bradley Wiggins is not a domestique. His biggest problem is that he wants to be a rock star, not a cyclist. He's not interested in winning de Panne, like Millar did last year, that won't get his name in lights. It seems he was only committed to the road for the period of time that he thought he could win the Tour, then he would be a BIG STAR!, and if he can't win the Tour, he's not interested.

Don't you just love the way the Shack ride?
Hardly see them during the "racing", then they turn up at the TT and turn the rest into also rans.
Go Chava!
