[SPOILER] Team SKY - Tour de Romandie

[Herzog]

Just got back from Mt Vully. Brad was head of the peloton chasing the break, whilst Cav was left alone to fend for himself again in the middle/back of the peloton. Looking forward to watching the rest live. Videos to follow.

Brad at 15 secs

Madness of a modern cycle race 40 seconds onwards...

No, but I could have had my pick of the numerous lovely bikes strewn on the roadside (mine was nearly run over by the broom wagon)

cheers - crikey, that was a narrow little road wasn't it?

Well my FP didn't turn up today. Insanely fast finish up that climb. 1 second gap for Brad!!

Yep it was like that on the way down as well. Am tempted to try and get to the final time trial, but think my wife wouldn't let me off child care duties...

LL Sanchez! Great finish and tactically, an astute ride. I thought yesterday that he would be a danger man.

Totaly agree LLS is very astute allways seems to make the most of the opurtunities when they come his way.

On the sky front does anybody else worry they may be showing their hand ( as far as the GTs ) a little early ?

Cav's been very poor imo this year

Keeping their legs for the Giro rather than flogging over the lumps of today's stage. Cav may have been distracted by childbirth but he usually peaks for the GTs

Shame not to contest the sprint for bonus seconds, but saving as much as possible for tomorrow i guess. Sanchez is/was the Spanish tt champ right?
