I think they are scheduled to be paved by next year's race.

Thanks Bro.

It was interesting that Cancellara wanted the lead position from a long way out. When Ballan tried to come around him after being in his draught for quite a time, Cancellara busted his ass to beat him to the penultimate turn.

It was an interesting place to put the finish. The riders must have all worked out that whatever the order was going into that last left, then right turn... that was going to be the order at the finish.

Don't worry... the OP hasn't got much clue either. The race is not tomorrow... it was three days ago...
