Default Freddy Rules and why.

He didn't sit on Petacchi's wheel, wait for him to jump, and then get
second or worse. He saw the line and went. A very nice piece of
sprinting.

I guess he hadn't read here that he was nothing but an old washed up Fred.

I have to agree. Its funny to hear Phil and Paul talk about the riders
"queueing up on Pechacchi's wheel." When I heard that I think, yeah, queueing
up to get second. Don't get me wrong, you need to be in the train, but if
you're sitting on Petacchi's wheel waiting for him to start his sprint,
you've most likely already lost. Coming from a few wheels back also let Fred
get his speed up a bit before he actually hit the front, catching the front
runners by suprise.

Nice job Freddy.

Guess the memo about "all sprint finishes go to Petacchi" didn't get
translated into English!

Go Fred!

Regards,

Joe
