Comments From Garmin's Directeur Sportif...: “As a general rule for these sort of stages, you put the stronger guys on the front to do longer turns,” said the directeur sportif of Garmin-Slipstream, Matt White. “That means we’ll have Bradley and Christian and the Daves (Millar and Zabriskie) doing a lot of the work today but everyone knows what they’ve got to do.
“It is slippery out there, but that’s typical of a circuit that has sections in a city. No one has been able to get a real understanding of the course in full race conditions because the road was only closed about half an hour before the race. But we have done plenty of rides on the circuit,” said the Australian DS. “We were here last Tuesday and Wednesday and we’ve got a good understand of what we have to do.”
