I think Terpstra and Stybar had a better chance sticking together. Had Terpstra sat up as soon as it flattened out then it should regroup. Or maybe their plan was for Stybar to come across with someone else so they could pick apart a small group like Roubaix last year.

Regardless, I have a hard time believing they entered race going for 2nd, which is better than 4th for most any team other than Etixx. When he contributed with Kristoff, that's the best they were going to get.

Monday Morning Quarterbacking is great fun.
