p.s. Isn't Voeckler a great rider? Always attacking...always. The guy deserves a lot of love from cycling fans.

like i said before gesink is not a bad descender. just when he is fatigued he does lesser descents (lack of concentration as a result of fatigue)

The fact he's rather tall doesn't help descending though.

Evans does not look sharp.

TV has started the climb with 1'10" advantage. No way that's enough to hold off Gesink and JRod.

I saw him and kreuizger do some really good descending in the spring a couple years back, ever since then I didn't think his descending was as bad as some thought.

Credit to Wiggo, that descent clearly got pretty hairy and he hung with everyone except Garate.

And that's why he gets it.

I'd take 1 Tommy Voeckler over all 25 High Road riders.

Though not if my money and results were actually on the line, obviously.
