I assume some of the brits will still ride tour .

all they have to do is finish.

No - you still need people who have score *points* - just finishing the Tour doesn't give you points (in fact, only back to 20th does)

frank just completed (struggled) his first GT. no way should he do the tour. I will be posting a very angry rant on this forum later today!

yup you should. those who have gone through a crazy giro are doing much better than the 3 in the dauphine who are quite fresh. they better pick it up for the tour.

Rabo used their strength in numbers to hand the win to Soler :p

No, not much to do about that guy today. Impressive stuff.

Good to see Kruijswijk still having some of that Giro form. He sure looks more smooth on the bike than his good friend and mentor Gesink ;)

The last time Juan Mauricio Soler won a race, the climb to Lagunas de Neila and the overall GC of the Vuelta a Burgos, Rubén Plaza was on Caisse d'Epargne BEFORE his sojourn in Portugal, and Moisés Dueñas was in the top 10.

The rant should be to yourself.

Seriously what is with the high expectations of BMC.

This team lacks climbers, only people surprised with there bad showing are you and dlwson...

Wow, shocker when I came home. How did Juan Mauricio Loser* manage to win this?

*Edit: I accidentally typed Soler first.
