"GB in complete control etc"

That was never true. Or that it would be a shock for him not to win.

Odds were always stacked against, as I said at the time. Even if Sky had managed to engineer a sprint finish, Greipel, Sagan and Goss would have been stiff competition. And there was always a v good chance of a breakaway succeeding.

Hence what you posted was bollocks.
