Didn't I hear that Eki and LA were going to do a 2 man TT sometime this season? Eki was 3rd at Paris-Roubaix way back in Spring too. He's been going hard all year. Alot of riders, even his team leader, don't do that. The guy is a pro.

Last year a strong but not great USPS got Heras to the final ITT in the Gold at the Vuelta. They look to be able to do so again.

I was impressed greatly with Beltran at the Tour. In fact by getting into those breaks and then coming back to LA he might have been critical. If he's still on form and Heras isn't in Sept. could he be the team leader in Spain?

I'm still "old school" enough to where I'd really like to see LA ride more than one GT per year though.
