So, is this the day Haedo finally shows his worth on a Grand Tour stage? stay tuned (doubt it, what with his ENECO crash and all)

Tinkoff will field (obviously) Ignatiev along with (I reckon) Serrano, Pedraza, Petrov, Gottfried, Khatuntsev, Sobal, Kiryienka. If i were Oleg Tinkov, that's who id race 
EDIT: Serrano definately will be riding due to a news article printed on the 9th June on Cyclingnews.
"The 29 year-old, in the peloton known as "Richi", hopes that the rest of the year will be better: " I am already thinking about the Vuelta a España, because there I hope to be able to make up for the whole year. Until this race, I will have to be patient and hope to do better in my next races.""
EDIT2: And no, he hasn't done better in his next races either!
The 29 year old, hoped, but crashed yesterday and didn't start today. Amount of days raced this year - 2. Amount of crashes this year - 281. Amount of contracts renewed - 0. Me thinks Serrano won't be in Katusha's (spelling?!) plans.

Boonen was two or three riders behind Bennati and with the last corner, there was nothing to do. Well sprinted by Bennati
Never.

Good sprint by Bennati, boonen just didn't get it right, no complaints, there can't be.

oh but there will be. Boonen always has an excuse. Every single time.

he would have lost the sprint anyway, before he repositioned himself he had bennati behind him.

Well, he would have won if he hadn't been for, let's say, Bennati?
Never.

Cyclingnews says he fell with 7kms to go. and at 6kms to go on the live report they already reported him 20secs back

I hope Cunego gets given the same time only due to the fact he had to fight his way through all the stopped cars after the other crash, doubt it will happen though.

he wasn't in the main bunch with 3kms to go, so no ST for him. Rules apply to everyone, no matter if you crash with 3.5km to 7km and haven't quite got back yet.
and Cunego was @2.16 back
