Menchov rarely digs deep in this kind of training ride.Walkman said:Me too, I am a bit disappointed actually. Do you know how far behind he was?

Hope for him he doesn't get caught in the crosswinds, up in Holland, like he did yesterday.Midnite said:Anton was quite strong today! Very nice stage finish with all the attacks to drain Contador. Being from South America i was quite happy to see Juan Mauricio riding strong again! He may have a chance in the Giro if he continues this way.

cyclopeon said:Good race. And thanks Swordsman for the link. How do you find those things?!
Could it be that Contador wasn't much interested in closing down Anton because he figures on easily taking back more than 13 sec in the ITT?
