Pozzo has improved his TT a lot though. He impressed already on the Giro's last stage. So Brajkovic maybe underestimated him a bit.

Anybody knows what happened to Cav in 16th? And where's Greipel (not in Top 20 from CQ)?
According to Greipel's Twitter feed he led out Roelandts for the time bonus to snatch 3rd place overall. |

Cavendish didn't sprint  I think he did he Wiggins celebration from Dauphine if you know what I mean
So a guy who has been World Champion, has won Milano - Sanremo, and has multiple stage wins in all the best races of the world crossed the line cheering for a GC win in the Ster ZLM Tour?
I guess he changed his mind about these shit small races.

He's only going there for stages to build form. He'll quit the race early to go home and prepare for the Olympics

Say that to Sagan, who is riding alone. I hate these rules 
But he will win anyway...

Of course, he needs to have some excuse ready, if the things are not going well.

I suppose your right, maybe he can use the excuse of sleepless nights with his new baby |

Doesn't really count for Cav given the time he spends away from home but I've witnessed a number of professional sportsmen over the years having a big dip in form after having a child (the ones that didn't get sleepers ). Having spent the last 5 years being sleep deprived myself I can fully understand why

Veelers recovered nicely after he seemed out of contention by being in the wind far too early, but Bouhanni had full control, while Demare finished fastest.
Quite a youngster duo FdJ has with them. If this just wouldn't be the time of so many young sprint prospects...

FDJ has great prospects in these too, i think they will be there in the mix in July, they could steal some top 5,top 3's.
