Hunter Wins Dodgy Sprint

Astana smelled pay-back with at least one of the contenders today. When Christophe Moreau seemed to be laboring at the back of the group after a crash, Astana seized on the opportunity to attack, and the hard driving Khasaks put over 3 minutes into the bloody Frenchman. Most of the top sprinters, save Boonen, were caught back in Moreau's group, so the sprint seemed to be anyone's game. Then, inside a K, Boonen got caught in a tangle, which left the sprint wide open for the opportunist - Hunter. A hard driving Cancellara almost made it 3! John was the only one to score on show points for Hunter.
Pool order:
1. Gerald-57
2. Adam-26
3. John-25
4. Tony-12
5. Karen-10
6. Rooster-9
One more sprint stage, then Saturday we have our first TT!
