Stage 2

I like McEwen for today's win. Very short finishing straight and no big sprinter teams to control things. Should be chaotic to say the least. The GC teams will be crappin emselves.

BOONEN!!! Go you big Belgian mulleted stud.

Boonan's amazing. Who else can go by McEwen like that (besides Petachi)? I'm going for a road ride now...

Well Hushovd can. McEwen started a bit early, I think. But anyway, Boonen is a beast and that was impressive. I will be very happy to see him in green if Hushovd doesn't get it.

Boonen was spectacularly strong. He really is the in-form one day man right now. I thought with the uphill finish, narrow streets and a corner at 300 to go that this stage was made for a lighter rider with quick acceleration like McEwen. Guess no one told Boonen that.
