+1 Coming in second two years in a row would be very frustrating. Cadel did the best he could and CSC was just too strong. He'll get over it soon enough and start planning for next season. I'd cut him a little slack right now.
At least he got a shot this year. Leipheimer got a raw deal when Astana wasn't invited. Contador, too but he's a lot younger and will have more chances.
