Agree with you 100% Bodin.Can someone please explain the point of "building a team around Cadel" if they're all going to fall straight off him at the first sign of a decent climb?
This is ridiculous. For him AND Robbie.
The race is just approaching the business end and the team are looking far from strong. As strange as it sounds it might be tactics employed by the team (although I very strongly doubt it) to make them look weak. If that is the case it's a bloody risky move leaving your leader to fend for himself. Time will tell I guess??
By the look of it and according to Ligget and PS they believe Cadel will grind to the end and try to win in the last time trial. Personally I believe that is super risky. Almost too risky.....
Early days yet, we may just see the Silence team miraculously develop some amazing legs. Remember Lances tactic of looking like shite, waiting for the attack and then blowing the opponent away. Sometimes TV/communication devices can cause opponents to be purposefully mislead. Possible but unlikely in the case of Silence..
I'm looking for every possible angle for Cadel to win.
