Another difficult day for Euskatel coming up by the sounds of things. Nothing like a gale force crosswind to liven things up.

King Of The Wolds said:The big teams have got to learn not to contribute to the chase and let OPL do all the work. There's a risk that the break will succeed, but if OPL arrive fresh, close to the finish, we'll see a repeat of Saturday.
Contribute nothing, let OPL do all the work and then attack the **** out of them. If Gilbert's team mates are all used up, he'll be forced to chase each one himself.
That's the only way Gilbert's not going to win today.
FW 2008 doesn't agree with you.auscyclefan94 said:Meh, so does Vino, Cunego, Evans, etc. It only disadvantages bad bike handlers.

Tickers should be up very soon, feeds in an hour or so.

Thomas Dekker is a horrible bike handler (he even says so in his book), and he finished FW 2008 as 5th.
I'd say Evans is more likely to be on the right side of a split though. He's attentive and has a classicsy team.auscyclefan94 said:I am a little nervous about today, it is very possible that today could end quite a few gc riders races or at least put them behind the 8-ball. Same with tommorow, expect some massive crosswinds.
