Thursday, July 6th Course: None Comments: I thought Boonen finally had a stage win today, but Oscar Freire's surprise move worked brilliantly. Credit Agricole wasn't much of a factor, and Steegmans led out McEwen way too early (Fast Freddie's untimely departure stung a bit more at that moment, I imagine). I thought Quick.Step had it all lined up for Tornado Tom, but the headwind must have done him in, and Freire streaked to victory. My prediction for tomorrow: If there are crosswinds, the Davitamon-Lotto and Quick.Step squads will take control of the race, and Quick.Step, taking advantage of the absent Fast Freddie, will finally deliver Boonen a victory. If there are no crosswinds, it will be another chaotic scramble to the line. Maybe Galvez can finally squeak out a win—he's been close a couple times, but he crashed today, so he might be hurt. If rain should fall at the finish, look out for Hushovd, he thrives in bad weather. Any way you slice it, it should be another exciting day for those of us who like bunch sprints. |
