I also think it's foolish of us to be so myopically focused on Astana. There are a lot of other teams/riders who are doing some pretty incredible things... like Sastre.
Who would have thought the little Spaniard would have torn up today's stage like he did?
I, for one, didn't. Cervelo was really hidden in obscurity to me. Sastre showed the killer instinct. This was almost like a replay of last year up Alp D'Huez, except Sastre did it solo (no CSC train taking him to the base). Granted, he let up a little bit at the end but, to me, it was epic.
