He seems to have known he had a good chance even with Cancellara in the break with
him (from TWCOC):
"When I attacked I didn't feel like I was the strongest man of the three, but
while we were getting closer to the finish that feeling tilted towards confidence,
and in the end I wasn't at all scared to show up on the velodrome with these guys.
"They were dead tired," he added of his two companions. "Cancellara had cramps up
until his ears, and Ballan was happy that he wasn't dropped on the Carrefour de
l'Arbre. If you know that, you need to be a realist, you shouldn't be the smart-ass
that attacks them."
