    Simply, there is a war going that has polarized many in Spain and not only. I could site the graffiti in Greece this summer, while riding up remote beautiful passes, but this would infringe upon the forum rules.

    Well, if Almeida can come up to Vingo's level it's truly astounding. Next year Pog, Almeida one two at the Tour, just to ad insult to injury.

    It's true, Pellizzari is coming into his own. We all saw how he was composed today when dropped and then came back with surpuss. A force.
