I love RSNT but they can't be that stupid...
Depends how botherd they are with the team classification - they seem overly concerned with the least prestigious competition again. Of course everyone will hate them so maybe not  |

Like a guy said. They got 1 in the break Sky got nada. Sky is also the only team they really need to fair because they got like more than 20 min ++ on all the other teams. So they won't chase. Probably attack with Schleck instead.

Only have 1? 1 is better than none, which Sky have! What on earth would compel RSNT to chase?
It's RSNT we're talking about. They chase for random reasons, like "we're fighting for the team GC", "we're defending our leader's 45th place in GC" or "it's a sunny day".

Best placed in the group is Scarponi at 7 minutes (+3-4 minutes for the final TT?). Might be a good thing for him to take yellow and give Sky a break but all a long way off. |

Yeah good point, bigger buffer than I thought +20 mins from RSNT to teams other than Sky so all good for them too.

I don't think that's right. It's a technical problem I think, and it's only Westra.

Ruijgh fell too sometimes. Dutch television try to contact Vacansoleil's team boss for more info.
