Was there anyone else who thought it was strangely straightforward and
too "good a story" that the most marked man in the pack soloed to a
win ahead of the sprinters?
Yes, he's a specialist of the cobbles, but where there so many cobbles
that they would be a deciding factor in the sprint?
And, couldn't it be said that other folks (Boonen, Hincapie, et al)
are equally talented on cobbles and either have strong sprint support
or also really want a stage win?
Could there have been an peloton agreement that photogenic, popular
Cancellara wins on "home turf" and provides an uplifting story to
detract from all the negative press of the moment? Could money have
changed hands? I know nothing and am just thinking out lout, but as I
watched it yesterday I just though "huh...that's a little odd..."
