Agreed, however, am I the only one that thought Vanmarke stopped pedaling at the run to the line when Fabian overtook him for the win?

It really looked like he had the win and then inexplicably stopped pedaling for 3 or 4 strokes and enabled Cancellara to pass him for the win. I mean, you pedal hard for 6 hrs. and then the only time you stop is at the very end? I don't know, maybe I was seeing things...
