So some prima donna . . .
So some prima donna belts out a 100 meter sprint and wins by a wheel. BIG DEAL. The peloton ends up getting the same time. GC podium contenders are not generally affected by what happens in a sprint stage. To me this seems a wasted stage. A place filler. A sideshow. A delay tactic on the way to the podium. -- Sir Gregory |

Generally when he broke away he stayed away and even increased the time from the peloton. Now, that's adding insult to injury. Froome might have this ability should he choose to be bold enough to use it. -- Sir Gregory |
