Quick.step tactics in RvV...
....seemed to be centred around a nostalgic/idealistic finale for
Museeuw rather than pragmatic support for their strongest riders (Boonen/Bettini). Regards! Stephen |

Not really: all the obvious favourites sat on each other and waited for someone else to go, and after knackering themselves to catch the big break no-one felt like going. General tactical failures by everyone except T-mobile, IMO: Wesemann should never have been allowed to go away in that break of three, he was always going to win the sprint, and the second group was never going to catch up with only Dekker interested in working.

It appeared that Boonen had to work for Bettini rather than the other way around. |

Why would someone with Bettini's palmeres be asked to work for Boonen? |

He said he was willing to do it, and in Bettini's case, it's not unlikely. One of these days we'll see it happen, perhaps in the tour, should Boonen be sprinting well. |
