Meh. My theory almost worked. Seeing Greipel fails when I expect him to do good, I thought maybe he could fail at failing when I expected him to fail. This was really the deal during Tour de France, when he did good, and I expected him to do bad.
This time, he actually managed to outsprint Hoste!
I hope Greipel fails again.
On the good side, at least his wage will be lower. 
Edit: Longest post about a race, ever. For me.

Cavendish 5th from nowhere, Swift consistently nowhere. Who on earth is he following???

Rowe just 4th wheel back with like 2,000 to go, then he ends up 28th. Really realistic. Honestly. |

Very good performance by Goss AND Gajek. He has been quite dissappointing, but still performs from time to time.
A win was required to get a good GC position, so i'm very happy with the result.

I'm a little surprised Cav performed so poorly after winning the first stage. The leaders jersey usually guarantees a decent performance. |

It's frustrating - but for some weird reason having two strong riders / leaders works for some teams and not others. A combination of Swift / Cav should have been extremely difficult to beat.
Doesn't appear to be a pattern to it either - just luck.

It doesnt seem as if they even worked together though - except maybe on Stage 2. Swift just finished well down consistently, and no mention as to why - whether he was following a weaker teammate, only mb would know

One word: splendid. Goss does deliver from time to time. He gets a good position 2 times, and wins it 2 times, same with Vattenfall. Other times, he just got crap position or even a few times he didn't sprint. Gajek also a nice 7th.
Looking forward to the rankings, promotion is coming awefully close now. Think i scored around 220-230 points.

If this race gave me more than 5 point, I am shocked.

Great win by Goss - he has had a pretty goos season really, winning Vattenfalls was a big result and here too. Lets remember all the big guns were here - Milka also having a very strong race.
