I was waiting for this  :P  :D

LOL. Thing is you can't just say brand and correlate it to failure. The Spaz tyres may be predominately Control casings, and the Maxxis may be predominately EXO casings. Schwalbe may be snakeskin, or the standard performance line (nghhhhh - I have chills just thinking about those POS's)

Cannondale hang tough. They've got to keep rolling with Scott-SRAM at 4 minutes back on GC

yes you can ... one has to assume that there will be a reasonably similar number / percentage of riders on super light casings for each brand, and then those riders on more durable casing.

Songo drives while Plascon follows. You might be able to see Cannondale in the distance.

Shruter always on the front.

 

Surely those young guns should empty themselves on the front to open the gap up as large as possible?

they probably already on empty
