Top 3 and favourites standings : 2 Alejandro Valverde 0.05 I like Valverde, he seems much less cold and calculating than the GT contenders like Armstrong Ullrich and even Basso. More fun. Too many riders seem to be happy to sit and wait and finish 3rd than try to finish 1st. 9 Danilo Di Luca 1.47 Was the road not steep enough for him today? 49 Denis Menchov 14.23 Pretty dissapointing. |

Two great performances yesterday. David Loosli and Vino. I don't warm to Vino; he's selfish and a loose cannon. But he really tried yesterday and to be caught so close to the line - especially on a mountain-top finish - is cruel. And Loosli's long break staying ahead of the big climbers for so long was epic. It's performances like that that make bike racing worth watching, even if they come to nothing in the end. Sastre rode a very controlled race; early on the climb I thought he hadn't got it, that he was going to crack. But he did just as much as he needed to and no more. CSC, even without Basso, remain the most interesting team in the peloton. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; Drivers in the UK kill more people every single year than ;; Al Qaeda have ever killed worldwide in any single year. |

It's performances like that that make bike racing worth watching, even if they come to nothing in the end. I was going to mention Vino as a guy who does more interesting things than the calculator types and he goes and does something interesting again today. Probably not good enough to win one of the GTs but way more interesting than the sit on someones wheel unless 2k from the top of one stage. Sastre rode a very controlled race; early on the climb I thought he hadn't got it, that he was going to crack. But he did just as much as he needed to and no more. CSC, even without Basso, remain the most interesting team in the peloton. I'm on the Valverde bandwagon for this race but Sastre is looking a lot like he's safely in the calculator position. |
