Those who expected a small Liege-Bastogne-Liege was right.
The second step as the 97th Tour de France was to be a mini-edition of the oldest classic of the north. For the six cotes and time: rain for almost all the 201 km from Brussels to Spa
rain that made the track dangerous and protagonists, as in the stage of Brussels, the falls. Go to ground, among others, Italian Gavazzi and Andy Shleck. Luxembourgish, second a year ago, hitting the left shoulder and undermines race and rank. Is not enough, the bikes are likely to invest over a fallen runner. Enough is
too much and then the group says just: Cancellara, leader of the standings but no longer in the group, makes up her mind and asked everyone to slow down to protest against the organization and impose, even to the jury, the neutralization postings. One-rule allowing the Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel of taking the stage and yellow jersey. While at Spa, home to the historic circuit of Formula One, the group reaches his feet. Not the most beautiful end to a mini Liege-Bastogne-Liege, but when enough is enough.
