The Sheep said:I don´t know, having 6 at the finish means you didn't get the maximum out of your team either.

It wasn't just Phinney who was dropped, they were six going into Cauberg. And then half the team was dropped. Bit of a **** up.SafeBet said:Ballan was fully aware of everything too. He was doing the perfect pace until TJVG sprinted at the end of the Cauberg and dropped Phinney. Horrible choice. He lost the TTT there.

Very enjoyable event all in all, and a great TTT course.
