I dunno, the sprint's right near the end today and there's a chance the break'll get reeled in before it, depending on how keen the PC boys are for the points
I think most of the big sprinters see the intermediate sprints as a case of limiting losses rather than an oppurtunity to gain points. Why reel in a breakaway that early just so potentially you can lose even more points to someone like Cav/Rojas if they win the sprint and then have a breakaway go off and lose the chance to win the stage?

There goes Delage over the line and with him the 10 points of intermediate sprint I could've won today.
