Props to that kid (Kid...heh, dude is 4 yr older than me, but looks like my 14 yr old nephew :p ).

Impressive final GC spot considering the work he did for both Robbie and Cadel...that's what you call a Super Domestique.

Yes, he did a great job.

Hats off to Dekker, Boogerd and Menchov for their super domestique work hauling the Chicken around.

Popovych gets my vote for super domestique of the year. He attacked, got water bottles, set tempo; the man was all over the place.

I'm also glad Steegmans got a stage win; that's a really tough job leading out Boonen(and the other sprinters that sit on Boonen's wheel).

Agree 100%. Getting a top 10 spot is pretty damn amazing when you're the GC leader...let alone riding in support.

When I saw Horner go off the front, was really hoping a break with him in it would stick. Oh well. :)
