Michael Rasmussen is the mother****ing man. Not that there's any way in hell he gonna win either, but wow. </i>

the way rassmussen has been pulling menchov around every day except yesterday is pretty impressive... When menchov was on one of the prelimenary puerto lists I was hoping rasmussen would be freed in the mountains. I think he might have been able to get enough to make up for his timetrailing but it was not not be. Anyone know why menchov was allowed to start anyway?

<i>I've always just assumed that he rides "clean", and I want it to be true so bad...</i>

I assume the opposite about everyone. It makes for alot less disapointment. Even if he got a giant transfusion this morning it was still an amazing ride.
