Of course Andy, Sky have 'looked after' Cav but that doesn't really detract from my general point that their lead out is pathetic, non-existent, disinterested etc..
Sky didn't intend for Cavendish to have a lead out train. I thought everybody knew this from the start. Certainly Cavendish did.
I am genuinely surprised by this turn of thinking. Has there been false expectations that have lead to disappointment? What were you thinking when others were predicting Cavendish to win only a couple of stages?
To today; Chavanel's a good call I reckon. Too early for
Evans or Wiggins to be playing their cards (unless it looks good to do so). I was thinking about Menchov (as I have been since Chavanel tipped him) but I suspect he'll play a waiting game too.
I'm going to go long, on a breakaway to go the distance (and it won't be Voekler sadly). Nor someone from Garmin as they'll be pedalling wounded. One of the Astana lads methinks. I was going to go for Brajkovic but I don't reckon he'd not be allowed to get away, so my magic pin has landed on Robert Kiserlovski.
