His performance in the Dauphine was pretty good but I just feel that he was holding back Wheras Wiggins seemed to drop a bit of performance on a few days.
Or cattle on the course.
Remember. It was reported that Alberto claimed that the French beef was no good so he had a friend bring some to him from Spain.
Now of course the French cattle farmers were outraged.
If you watched Stage 6 of the Criterium du Dauphine you saw two very large cows come up out of a gully and sort of join the race. Causing a number of riders to crash.
Was that training for the cows to enter the TDF as Alberto pedals by? Will the French farmers take revenge?
