Psimet - I know that Joel is a wicked strong dude, and has a lot going for him genetically, but a super-controlled race like the FF crits always end up being is not exactly a proper testing ground.

Because even though I'm 2,000mi away, and haven't talked to JM about it, I know how ABD races, and how that race almost certainly panned out. Last year, the 3s in the 1/2/3 race were holding on by the skin of their teeth, and it was a relatively easy race, at both crits and the RR. Particularly after the moves went.

Meh. ABD didn't have much of a stranglehold. I think the biggest factor to his winning the field sprint (beyond his own strength and execution, of course) was the excellent leadout he got from at least a couple of BH mates. Gotta remember to look for that baby-blue train next season. It's a reliable express route.
