me too. He's got a good chance for both. Should be exciting to see how Greg goes in la vuelta.

It will be great if he does both today! yes with cadel proabably not riding, he will get much more freedom to go for stages.

I never would have picked Robbie for the Tour team, but in the end his presence would have given the team some purpose after all four of its GC contenders were written off.

IIRC I read something about Robbie riding the start of the season (i.e. TdU) then moving to a mentoring role. This is what he was going to do at Pegasus after a season or two. It will probably happen with Green Edge.

Yeah, and it's not like Johan to go for too many objectives. So I understood RS not picking Robbie for the Tour. It's always easier though being the Monday morning quarterback (in hindsight).

Im surprised by how well TGAK and phinney are climbing. I thought phinney was a terrible climber. They are setting a hard pace in the peloton.
