The questions are: Do the Norwegians and Swiss think they can beat him on the line or do they start trying to break away at some point? | ||

O'Grady has been out in the lead group all day, I think he's too tired for a good sprint. | ||

I think the other teams left it too late, they're getting to the point where helping GB push up on the lead group may cause them to just overwhelm everyone and let Cavendish win. They don't want to risk it. | ||
