Great race but jeez, as I was watching it I felt physically ill with the video quality. I dig that USN covers races nobody else will and will support them for that but I'd pay an extra fee to get it in HD. I guess them not having their own cameras on-site kinda hurts them/me. Again, awesome that they cover these events.
As for the race, Gilbert was strong and looked it. I'm a Liquigas fan. I'm not sure Nibali had it in him to finish strong. The fall may have come from some fatigue from the climb but who knows. I wish it had been closer at the finish but with the rain and final climbs I think attrition just took its toll.
