Absolutely amazing. I never doubted his talent, but the competition he was up against was fairly heavy.
Edit: Alex Rasmussen that is.

PS your sig does not make sense!
He isn't exactly the world's biggest talent in time trialing, so this is a very good result for him. In fact, he's never done better among the pros. Hence my surprise.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:to be honest wasn't that surprised. this guy is a very good talent in terms of stage racing. Pity about his season last year, bad luck.
I am really looking forward to him at the giro.

Thanks.

which clearly should be "Lana tries to open a gap on the ascent to Competa," and I don't even speak Spanish remotely! So much for internet tranlation services and their obsession with bodily functions?
Cerberus said:Myself I rather like that the Andalusia team has a rider called "Vicious person".
his name is WigansReverend_T_Preedy said:Final stage today. Feillu (Vacansoleil), Vicioso (Andalucía), Marzano (Lampre) and Wiggins (Sky) in a breakaway. They have a lead of 1'38' on main field.
I assume Wiggins is either trying his legs out or is going up the road in advance of an attack by Lofkvist.
HTC won't let this slip though.
