Precisely, and Millar in a break is "known quantity" to most of the riders anyway, whereas Froome perhaps less so.
Box Hill may not be that big or that steep (by pro-peleton standards) but in his current form Froome may still be able to explode off the front?
Half of the peleton might just think there was a chance he was after personal glory and, if they have the legs, go after him.
Would be a risky tactic, especially with no radios.
Will they have the motorbikes with the chalk boards giving the time gaps ?

Colombia and Norway each have two Sky men on their team...
To work out Cav's chances, I think you have to look at which teams will be hoping for a sprint finish, and which will prefer to get a man away in a break. As lukesdad says, Belgium and France fall into the latter category. Italy too, I think. And you can expect the whole of the Slovakian team to be in any escape group.
Of the ones hoping for a sprint finish, as well as GB, there's Germany, Australia, USA. Probably Norway and Spain too, though they could go either way. That's probably enough people chasing down to ensure a sprint finish, isn't it?

Trouble with that is, if GB fail to chase down the break and those other nations don't have someone in the break themselves, then they won't get a medal either.

Especially as Sagan can say "My room, half an hour. Bring a friend" in any damn language he chooses.
