Sky committing men to the lead-out today. All of them, in fact.

Ahem - watching it now that is exactly what is being done.

Greipel from Goss, Haedo and Cav.
Sagan down, and perhaps beyond the 3km mark.

Yeah but doing it in the last 20 k doesn't count

That's me 4 from 5 on the predictions so far. All downhill from here.

Tomorrow I predict Peta Todd will distract the entire peloton by flashing her considerable assets with 100 metres to go so Cav can get the win!

4 from 6.......

Greipel has upper hand now and Cav must be doing his nut. Cav by a whisker tomorrow in a sprint filled with rage.

It will be interesting to see how sky back up cav in view of the summit finish tomorrow

Do you still think he'll have his mate Bernie at his disposal?

Re: Cycling : Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:45 am  

He'll definitely have Bernie today, but will they put any others into a train? There's gonna be some attacking done tomorrow and there's a good chance Wiggins could lose some time unless he has sky maintaining a quick pace to nullify attacking.

Train, possibly not, but they'll want to be up the front and out of trouble

Greipel down twice already today
