Yeah, ideally, we'd have Leipheimer and Kloden (and hopefully someone from another team) right in the mix too; a bit like AC, Evans and Leipheimer in 2007.FCN 2-4.

It's because it's an uphill-ish finish today (I think) that I opted for him. So, no real valid reason at all then.
EDIT: as in, uphill ain't a mountain, and what not. Hence no valid reason. I'll stop now. Maybe do some work or something.FCN 2-4.

Do you mean the bit about Contador and the roads needing tarmacing?
That's interesting, I'm obviously a much more cynical and bitter person than you others - I read that as 'Contador was going so slowly the explanation can only be that the road surface was rubbish in those bits'.0 -

No no no:
"And they might need to repair the pavement on the sections where Alberto was pulling."
Suggests that AC was "Tearing up the tarmac." It's a compliment!- 2023 Vielo V+1

have been amazed how glued ive been to it, i always saw it as boring but watching this year realising the tactics and excitement.
even tried today to ride out of the saddle on the drops as they make it look so easy, luckily i was on a quite road as wobbled all over the place lol0 -
Hell of a ride by Dave Millar! Yelled myself silly urging him towards the finish line.
Heartbreaking ending for DM but awesome final km and sprint!
BTW - Ben Stiller - ugliest podium girl ever?0 -

Go Millar! Go Millar! Go Millar!
Wooo mountains tomorrow!

I haven't seen today's highlights yet, but, when he was on a few days ago, he looked weird. :shock:
