misdirected gravitas - I like that

I think it will be a real shame if they change the course too much. I love the dynamic meaning a breakaway can win or a sprint from a smaller group. Or indeed a bigger bunch sprint. Its subtle yet highly complelling.

Dont the puncheurs have enough?

Yeah it's a shame, I think the organisers are going for the insame spectacle of a hilly classic, a nod towards the 'success' of Stage 6 of the T-A this year. I love a bunch sprint me. Nothing like the tension ratcheting up and the Ks clicks away. Hope OPQS do a better job of keeping Cav in touch than Sky did. And if G is in with a shout I'll likely to spill my milkshake. I mean beer.
