FWIW, even if Cav hadn't got dropped he would never have been in with a prayer of staying with Cancellara et al anyway (as predicted by someone on here
).

Exactly.
Last year there was a massive crash and hold up on Le Manie. 44 riders got away. Goss was the only HTC member.
With Cav, Hushovd, Farrar etc. all held up and plenty of team firepower to try to catch, they didn't because they couldn't.
Goss won.

With regard Sky and Cavendish I wonder how much team dynamic has an affect, albeit unconscious, on the effort a rider puts in? There's no doubting the absolute trust and respect there was between Cav and his team mates at HTC and nobody wanted to let anyone down. I suppose that sort of thing takes a little while to develop and even tho it probably didn't come into play yesterday, it may yet be a factor this season.

The second option would mean the winner is the most reckless descender of the Poggio who doesn't crash, which doesn't seem a good idea.

I think that having the finish immediately after the Poggio is a recipe for disaster. It would just be too dangerous. However, I like the idea of making the Cipressa a bit tougher/selective. All in all, I'd prefer it if they didn't change anything.
As for Cav, a bad day at the office indeed, it must have knocked the conifidence a bit, but he has a chance to make amends in Gent-Wevelgem.

Perhaps they should have two official winners - first over the line, and first Italian over the line?
