Mitchell - would you care to contribute something here?

OK - Who's gonna take the sprint after the break gets caught? Petacchi?

OK, if we have a sprint finish with no Cav in the race, who would you guys think is the best sprinter/team left at this point?

I'm changing my tune. Break will stick. Popo attacks and solo win.

Sastre leaps off the front with 3 K to go and wins by 30 seconds. Yes I'm kidding.

Think that would be a safe guess, I would think if Garmin knew the break was going to be caught they may have Julian Dean drop back and sit in until the finish, he may have a chance....

Specialized probably really digs the ISD and Saxo Bank riders out on front riding their gear in the same video frame.

Ugh. Pate, as usual, looked strong but failed to deliver. I don't even know what McCartney was doing.
