Yes, once I had posted that, I was guessing it might be!

According to cyclingnews, he was probably a local semi-pro rider who knew some of the riders in the peloton - seeing as he had no trouble keeping up and chatting at the same time!

That is what might have made me think he went the wrong way. A complete stranger would be ignored I would think.

Farrar and Dean made it look easy. Either Greipel is not 100% or he's just being found out, I am not sure.

Millar and Bobridge rode well in setting that up also. Garmin look much slicker this year. Should be good in the TDF against HTC. Mind its a shame Saxobank dont have world class sprinter. Can you imagine Cav. behind an O Grady Voigt Cancellara Train?
As for Kelly, well, what can you say ?The mans a legend.

They do, but I still think Cav is in a class of his own when he's set up right, and the Cav-Renshaw duo is almost perfect, whoever is before them in the train, so now Renshaw is back and fully fit, I don't think Garmin will be able to break them that often. It has surprised me that Sky haven't yet been able to set up Henderson in the way that they looked like they would be able to in the early season - Sutton seems to be way off the pace right now, although the squad are certainly driving it along at in the last couple of kms.

It was - I was hoping my man Arashiro might pull a last minute little escape (he was right behind Tosato as he tried to get away at the death, but he sat up when the sprinters' teams really got going...)

Change of subject - but having just watched the stage on Sky+ what do you dislike about Dave Harmon?
I really think he does a good job of waffling for hours and keeping me interested. He seems to be on good terms with the riders and is well informed. He generally gets the calls right when he has to see who's made a sudden attack or crashed. And he clearly respects Sean's opinions and seems genuinely to want to hear them.
I agree completely, I never understood the antipathy towards Sean Kelly, especially on Racing on cyclingplus, but I think he's blossomed since being paired with Harmon.
He seems to have loosened up and his dry sense of humour really comes out.

I like David Harmon's commentary and love Sean's insights - I just wish that they would avoid "just explaining the basics for people who might never have watched the sport before". I would prefer it if they would talk about what they see or hear on the day and pack in as much race gossip as possible!
I mean, I watch rugby and the commentators do not insist in explaining the laws of the sport for every game, nor do football commentators explain the meaning of the offside rule...

Sastre and Wiggins are though - good chance for wiggo, but I'd never thought Sastre as a breakaway man. What's more Porte is only 2:26 down on Vino - surely the break won't be allowed to suceed. Cycling news has it at 17min though which is fair amount of chasing even over 200k ?
