Dazed and Confused said:Neo pros (and CT level riders) goes into breaks for TV time. Serious in form guys goes into breaks to win something. Andy wasn't serious in California and he will likely be on vacation in Colorado too.
Don't really agree, Andy looked pretty serious in the breaks. I think he was really trying for a stage win there. Don't know what his plans will be for this race, but if he goes in a break then that shows he is serious and has plans to try for a stage win.
My main point though was that if a rider goes in the breakaway, then they are being competitive regardless of their reasons for going into it.
