Victor Hugo Pena, ever the Domestique?
Please, I mean no disrespect with the thread title.
Here is a quote from this humble rider, who is the
penultimate team player from Cyclingnews.com:
this is great stuff.

Here is a quote from this humble rider, who is the
penultimate team player from Cyclingnews.com:
In an amusing moment today during Stage 6, Peņa explained post race that "Today I saw that Lance didn't have a bottle so I wanted to go back to the car to get one - Johan told me the Maillot Jaune doesn't get bottles."

The idiosyncracies of the traditions of the tour!
I've never heard of that one, but it makes sense!

Here's another quote from the bicycling.com stage 5 tour reports from Pena:
Just a class act. Glad he's a Postie! 
"Today was a dream. The best gift I could ever have. It was great for me, but also my country, who has had so many great cyclists."
Pena said that the only difficult thing was watching his leader Armstrong working for him. But Armstrong insisted, saying that it was Victor Hugo, not he who was in yellow today. Finally he accepted Armstrong's gift, although he will be only too happy to return it, if ever Armstrong takes over the race lead himself.

That is one happy Columbian, and who could blame him!!!! What a humble man - now I know why he fits in with the Postal squad so well.

I saw that quote on the site as well and had a good chuckle. You can tell the rest of the posties are brain washed to do everything they can for Lance all the time.

One of the OLN sponsors, Clif Bar I think, was doing a contest to vote for your favorite domestique. I think Victor wins, hands down.
