Stage 1
Good idea Casus Belli on creating this post. Someone had to start it sooner or later. Your timing is on euro.
Ok....stage 1 brought forth some dodgy situations tactically with the weather in a few spots. I noted that some riders may have suffered due to the atmospheric change from the day before, cause the temps started about 61 farenheit.
What a great shame that the 2 man break was swallowed...it would have been nice to see it succeed.
The intermediate sprint was on FIRE!!! The final sprint was a classic bunch charge that should have had Petacchi in it, but i guess he was on the wrong wheel and got caught out. Kursipu did a great job holding the charge through the line. Superb!!!!!
