I really hope McEwen gets dropped on the final cat2 climb and Boonen pulls out a stage win. That would make me ultimately happy.

Sticking with the pack on a cat2 climb might be a bit steep for Boonen though. I can hope at least!

Robbie's climbing better than Bonnen. Besides the stages are too long for Tom, he said so.

Wait. Really? What stage was that when McEwen got dropped and Boonen didn't? I'm pretty sure it had like a cat 3 or 4 finish.
