    Serves them right for having such a rubbish first half of the season.

    Had to get the victories somehow.

    It's interesting to notice that it doesn't necessarily seem to produce an unsuccesful year, or even a tired downhill end of the season: Hoogerland and Gilbert both had very good years and extraordinarily good final months, apparently after a long long year of racing.....

    It's also interesting that non of these 4 did the Tour de France this year....
