The Harry Potter stuff is a bit much, I agree. OTOH, McEwen's rather amazing slice behind the front guys and spurt through the opening to almost steal the win from Oscar on today's stage was pretty amazing. RObbie just seems to have a different gear right now. He moved laterally behind 4 guys and then cut forward through an opening and almost won the stage.
Boonen, who I have liked in the past, was situated perfectly today. He just couldn't do it. Phil said he started to early but I think it looked more like he never started at all. Just as everyone was in position the final sprint for the line starts and they all surge and Tom never did.
