Is it has crosswinds that make for GC shakeups on flat stages.
Was it '96 that Rominger got eliminated from contention on the 2nd day on a flat stage? I think it
was ONCE and Banesto that went to the front just a few k into the stage and shattered the peloton.
Today Frigo gets the treatment from ONCE and USPS. I'll guess that Saiz and Bruyneel may have been
on the phone to each other (Bruyneel rode for Saiz @ ONCE).
Too bad the TdF doesn't have such drama (well, there was the Passage du Gois) on flat stages.
I'll guess the prevailing winds and terrain in Spain allow for this.
