Westra from Valverde and Wiggins. Brad remains 6 seconds clear, but from Westra now with Leipheimer slipping to +10. Then comes Valverde at +18.
Little opportunity tomorrow or Saturday, so all on the ITT on Sunday you'd think

Chapeau, Bradley

'Hat' indeed to Bradley. Looking good and a genuine Tdf contender.

I really thought Valverde would be too much for him but he and the team are wearing the GC favourite tag very well.

Moving on - who do you fancy for Milan San Remo? For Cav it is a stated aim so that means he must win right?

I think Sky will win this race either with Cav or EBH. We'll just have to see who is in position.

Here's hoping!

Well I was completely wrong. Cav in poor shape and EBH not there in the final reckoning.

What we did see though was a great edition of the race. Liquigas pushing hard as soon as they realised Cav was in trouble. Good attack by Nibali, Cancellara giving it his best shot and Gerrans with a great win for Green Edge.

Bring on the northern classics.

Tom Boonen is in cracking form this year. Saw his win in the E3 on sporza on Friday but missed yesterdays Gent-Wevelgem. Who would bet against him for Tour of Flanders this weekend?

I didn't see the race yesterday but I wonder what Cav was up to. I've seen a comment from him via Twitter saying that he should have been in the front 10 and not the front 25. I'd have thought he would have known that in a hard classics race you need to be near where your competition is. He wasn't the only sprinter to get caught out.
