Old Trick

The oldest trick in the books; tap the leader on his right shoulder, then as he looks over to see who's there, attack on the left. A classic move.

That reminds me, is Paul Sherwen color blind? During the TDF I heard him call Bianchi's jerseys blue and last night he mentioned the orange jereys of ONCE.

Maybe I'm color blind.

cwo, I'll have to remember that one!

I could go either way on the colors. In the picture above, the ONCE jersey looks pretty orange compared to the shorts. And, celeste is actually a blue-ish green (celeste.... as in celestial, as in the sky). But I agree, it looks more green than blue to me.

That's because that is the "golden" leader's jersey, and not ONCE's. ONCE's jerseys are definitely yellow:
