Wow, another tragic death of a troubled cyclist...Pantani, Chaba, etc. Depression seems to be the common link. RIP VDB

I have to agree with this one...great and unexpected finish!!!

I still think Hushovd has a very good chance if the Cervelo team can get organized with several riders coming down the Poggio.

Wow, that's really impressive! Hats off to the fella who had the time or the luck to find this! :p

Definetly Jens Voigt...he's got a diesel engine!! Horner, Hincapie, Rubiera are also notables.

Yes, that's why I wrote #x1.

Great idea!

Will be interesting to see starting at who gets the #x1 race number. Usually he is the team leader for the race. After that and the first week in the mountains should indicate who will be working for who.

Well technically I've ridden with Lance....as have 1000's of other cyclists in the Ride for the Roses in Austin! ;)

Classic gesture by a classic rider!

Definetly on top of any of the two climbs of the route. There's gonna be a lot of suffering that day!!

As far as whos the best sprinter, regarding top speed in the last 200 mts. you have to consider Abdujaparov. This guy never had a decent lead out train and wasn't the smartest going for the line, but he sprinted lights out each and every time! Not for nothing he had one of the most horrendous...

Exactly. My guess is that Contador would've never been left so isolated with Bruyneel at the wheel of the team car.
