Consider this, if Menchov and Evans try to get in a break - nobody will try to run them off today.
Perhaps Cancellara will go on a flyer?
I know George is hurting. I'm looking at this stage from the entertainment and cycling mythology standpoints. It would be a great story if George took the stage.
(But not as good of a story as LA somehow putting 5 minutes into AC and AS on Ventoux....THAT would be earthshattering - and trigger massive doping tests.)
