What I don't get in the slighest right here, is Rujano killing himself at the front of the lead group.

Wait, now no one wants to pull up front either. that's interesting. That might very well be the end of them
This is the time when "fleas" starting jumping from the peloton to try and catch the break alone
With the peloton seemingly cooperating now

Gap on the pack back to 2 minutes, theres nobody left there willing to chase really - the only way I can see rider in there winning is by attacking away and trying to close the gap up front.

Duque vs Boonen from that group of 4 at the finish would be rather epic I think, given that Duque is not as good of a sprinter but is a better climber so will be fresher, I would love to see that.

Just in case any Norwegians were kidding themselves about Hushovd - he was 2 minutes behind the pack on the previous lap and will probably abandon now, if he hasnt already
The reports we have is Hushovd abandoned. |

I just don't want a big name to win, that's all. No Ballan, no Boonen.

No I actually like them if nothing else I like their voices because they're unique I just found that enjoyable, didn't mean that in a harsh way toward them heh.

They're better than Ligget+Sherwen and Porter + (his companion, subject to change).
They do all the years major races, so they are quite used to it all and often get to know the riders personally too.
