so it looks like the overall win will probably be between Dekker, Millar, Hoste and Gutiérrez

In the final stage of the Tour of Britain last year Boonen got a deckchair for winning

bunch of Millar wankers
He waisted a lot of power by attacking already 60km before the line to be honest. I think he really should learn to relax and save powers for when it's needed. |

yes but Dekker did no turns at all yet still didn't win either
plus Millar is a very aggressive rider, he likes to attack, he may attack too early or often but it is in his personality to do so
and i apologise in advance for the dig at Dekker

actually, he worked hard towards the end. but that was for very little time

he attacks far too early, yes, but there are less inteligent riders when racing. actually, I can think of one who is a complete idiot. guess who...
"look: a 4 minute gap to the break. something tells me I should try to bridge it myself..."
I've seen him do that (correction: try to do that) a bunch of times. and of course he always fails...

Nuyens was the most conservative and thus smartest rider. |

I was in the second group on the road in a crit last tuesday and I had to do most of the chasing by myslf to even be in that group. The lead group had6-7 guys in it and all i had wsas a teamate with me who was barely holding on. I still managed to catcha collavita guy and another Local. Me and the collavita guy printed for 8th-9tha dn it was close. We dont now who won. But this proves that you can still work and do well. And indeed you should work if you are in the front group and want to win. SItting just makes you look like a douche bag.

exactly. see Levi's last sentence above for my views on Nuyens today.

My team (call us crazy) will only sit if the break up the road has one of our guys in it. BUT usually it is 2 or 3 of our riders in the break because we ride aggressive the whole race.

well attacks were already flying in from 60km, and since then the race was very active. I haven't seen that at the ENECO Tour since...well 2003 or something  |

i hope today's drama will keep up.
Also want to see Millar doing something again (even if it's at the front of the peloton). Do that British Champion jersey proud.

To make the Millar freaks here even happier:
Thomas Dekker said after the stage that Millar will win the ENECO Tour. It was like this: "Yeah I had a good day and guys like Ballan have sustained serious damage in the Gc. But Millar will win the ENECO Tour, the way he is riding today."
So it has been decided |
