Our Super-Besse strategy
Stage 6 preview from DS Matt White
Well the first real test for the climbers is here. Only two climbs tomorrow and they are not super hard, but a hill top finish with a solid last 3 km we will surely see some action.
The plan for us is to have somebody in the early break if it is a decent size. Then have Trent and Ryder (both pictured left) going with moves on the cat 2 climb and leaving just Christian and Dave to go with the big hitters on the last climb. It will be hard to off load Shumacher or Kirchen though. They are both classy climbers and both have won very big races that finished uphill! Kirchen this year at Fleche Wallone and Shumacher last year Amstel.

I’ll be cheering you on guys!
Sounds like a good plan, but probably not dissimilar to what Columbia and Gerolsteiner will be thinking either.
Fingers crossed for the finish. Dave and CVV – give them hell!!!!!
come on guys!
unleash hell!
