Relax boet, if you watch closely you will notice that the flat stages, or the boring ones as you refer to them, are actually the stages where the sprinters are playing chess with each other. With every sprint finish the teams try different tactics against Highroad. Yesterday was particularly interessting, as they followed a tactic that almost worked, but Cavendish was still too fast. Altough I canot wait for today's stage in the mountains, I am also looking forward to the next sprint stage too see if the teams can outwit Highroad with the sprint finish. - Very exiting stuff. Today we'll see a different chess game with the climbers. You can be sure that the Schlecks, or at least one of them, will attack today and Evans will surely go with them, can't wait longer, and then the sparks will fly, because Astana will not allow it. - Very exiting stuff.Backlash2009-07-17 01:04:21
