Just read the finale on cyclingnews.com
It's rare that reading a typed race report gets the blood flowing like that. Awesome stuff

Pozzato played Boonen...Boonen considers himself the second Museeuw. I wonder if Museeuw would have let himself be played like that.
I knew Pozzato was strong, but today he showed he is smart.
edited to add: Today Pozzato proved the axiom, "You have to be willing to lose if you want to win."

Results to #86 up at Cyclingnews.com. Elkhaus doesn't have a single rider in the top 86. Hmmm. Mattan the only rider from the Litespeed team to make it into the top 86. Best I can see the race was run at ~40km/hr pace.
De Jongh was obviously Boonen's man in the break and should have been the one to match the acceleration by Nuyens, but he couldn't, leaving Boonen to cover Nuyens move himself, which left him vulnerable to Pozzato's attack. Boonen is claiming he has been sick all week. OK.

I had a 1987 poster in my room of Argentin riding a TT....I think it was an ad for Bianchi or Brancale or something. Yep....shocking jersey.
