Whatever.. bring on the fall classics...
...And my boy James Toney gets #68.
Roy needs to start paying attention or retire.
This was a weird TT today. Pena, Nozal, and Grabsch beaten by two pure climbers.
My favorite performance of this Vuelta is easily Mancebo who gets on the podium after finishing 6th in the TDF. Kudos also to Sastre for his fine ride.
How much Valverde's crash had to do with his collapse isn't known, but he looks very Popovych-esque to me. Neither seems to have reached their strength yet, and if one of them is to win a Grand Tour, I suspect it won't be until they do fully mature. Both have to somehow become better TT'rs.
Pecharomann was a huge disappointment, as was Cadel.
