Obviously, geography hates cycling.
not if they went the other way round, from paris roubaix section to liege bastogne liege section. would have been cool if they had done paris roubaix cobbles, then next day flanders cobbled hills, then next day wallone hills. oh well. Maybe next time (ie 6 years from now)
as for the stage,last year the flattest stage was won by voeckler so break could succeed. and remember that epic arashiro + 2 others breakaway in giro. The trains could mess it up. Doubt it though since this is the tour.
and nicholas roche said something today about how things always come in 3s and he was worried that since he crashed 2 days in a row he might crash today as well. Well cav has crashed last 2 sprints so he could make it interesting once again.
