By the way, noticed it in the TT, and again here. Every rider has their trade team listed on the side of their shorts. Really interesting that the UCI allowed that. |

This is interesting. Spain and France giving it all in the front group. |

It's unlikely Leukemans would win from that group... Meaning Belgium will chase.

Seeing how they are racing today and how stupid Bomans is, even if Boonen was in that group, They would still chase.

Meersman still up front, too. Meersman and Leukemans isn't nobody. I agree Contador is stronger but still.

Meersman and Matthews are surely now the strongest sprinters in the front group. And both of them are able to survive a hill. |

Contador isn't the most dangerous rider up the road. I'd choose Voeckler and Albasini over him with this finish. |

This is a very interesting move. Plenty of domestiques in the front group.

Leukemans is probably as strong as Voeckler, Albasini and Contador on this route. Certainly after 267 kms.
Stop chasing you fuckin fools.

Right now, to be entirely honest??? I'd give it a 65% chance of sticking.
I'd be really, really worried if I'm Belgium (who clearly don't trust Leukemans and Meersman) and Australia. It could be very difficult for the pack to bring this back. |

Australia and Belgium aren't that bad off. Meersman and Matthews are strong. |

Doesn't matter, they think they're badly off, and are working. I'm not sure they'll have the firepower to bring this group back. |

I really don't understand their tactics... And it will be worst if they end up with no one in the top-3... |

How many km left?
True, but Columbia will also work with them. |

Come on, it's 29 riders off the front, and not a single German in it? Seriously?
6 for Degenkolb/Martens/Wegmann/whoever or what is their strategy?
