It was more of a 'what the hell' counter attack and a poorly planned reel in that no team wanted to take up.
Paris-Nice *SPOILER*

I didn't see the race but from what has been said on here and on Cycling news, De Gendt put up a fine show to get the win. It's early days yet as far as the GC goes but at least he has got one day of glory to feel good about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I enjoyed that - I thought they'd get caught with 500 m to go!
And a bonus ... I've been watching International Eurosport for well over 10 years, and I'm pleased to announce that they are finally broadcasting it in widescreen! (Admittedly, only letter-boxed widescreen but I'm picking up a good clean signal so it scales up nicely to fill the screen, unlike the crappy analogue TV signal I'm receiving here).

Well, my man had a stab at it.
Perfect lead out for Henderson. Columbia seemed to go a bit early - exciting sprint though.
Sky definitely seem to have a better system this year. I am surprised that some of the other teams don't though, and it isn't like Columbia-HTC to mess up a lead out like that.

I'm pleased for Henderson and Sky with the 2nd stage result, let's hope they remain a force during the 3rd stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see the unexpected leader De Gendt not just sit back, and give it a real go with a kilometre or so to the finish.
It was! I nearly laughed out loud at the audacity.
There seem to be a few more sprinters who can win these days. Cav says he's glad Goss is in his team as he's so strong but he gets beaten by Henderson. There's a young Italian whose name escapes me, a new Russian who's name escapes me, and that other bloke whose name begins with H who won a stage from Cav last year. I don't know why I started this.....
...and then there's Greipel, Pettacchi for now, Bennati, Chichi, Farrar, Bonen, Renshaw, Brown, Hunter, Hushovd at a pinch.....

Luis Leon Sanchez has changed teams, from Caisse D'Espagne to ...... oh bums........ .. Rich P, your forgetfulness is contagious. Will he fare better with his new team?
