Petacchi has used the same excellent tactic twice now, and uses the same tactic each time he beats Cav.
He sprints early.
Cav has clicked to that now, that's why he sat up.
You could see it on his face, calling himself a fucking donkey for letting it happen.
Both Thor and Cav will be watching Petacchi today.
There will be blood!
McEwen will finish fifth. And bitch about it.
Because he's a bitch.
As for the lead out train being 90% of the equation, I disagree.
Cav has to come off a wheel, but he can come off anyone's wheel. He definitely has the fastest acceleration in the peloton, but only over 200m. Petacchi is good for 300-400m. Not as fast as Cav, but a lot more stamina. If he could get on Petacchi's wheel then he could get round him for the win. The problem is just getting that fucking wheel!
