[Waterloo Sunrise]

Well done all round.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

bah...

Henao transformed into Andy Schleck

 

[Moviefan1203]

Classy riding by both of them after the line. Congrats to Levi on his win, well deserved.

 

[Fetisoff]

What no Conti/Schlecklette hug? Just a handshake....

 

[jobiwan]

Good move by Levi!

 

[AntonioRossi]

henao, levi, jani, danielson

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ok, well done. Hats off to Levi for the classy move.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Now, the goobers are in this Colorado dealy, right?

 

[maltiv]

Dissapointed that Henao gave up but no wonder considering how comfortable Bottle looked.

 

[Kwibus]

It's a shame Henao couldn't shake off Leipheimer for more spectacle, but I guess he just didn't have the legs.

Grats to Leipie.

 

[jobiwan]

Colorado might have a hard time topping this. It's been a very good race!

 

[jsem94]

Gotta give credit where credit is due, to Levi that is. He raced his own style and won, even if his style is boring.

 

[Moviefan1203]

is Henao going to Colorado?

 

[jobiwan]

Now, the goobers are in this Colorado dealy, right?

Yes indeed, and the EPM squad will be there too.

 

[jobiwan]

is Henao going to Colorado?

Pretty much the same squad.

Here's the provisional start list for Colorado.

 

[Lupetto]

is Henao going to Colorado?

Yes, same team like in Utah.

 

[BillytheKid]

Janez learned from his leader, sucked Tommy's wheel all the way to 3km to go and then attacked.

Jani's not going drag Tommy D up to change the dynamic up front. He just waited until he was sure D was not good and could be a factor. Then he went

 

[ferryman]

Over and out Utah. Thank you, it's been fun

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Yes indeed, and the EPM squad will be there too.

Looking at the profiles, it looks cool - downhill prologue, mountain TT.

 

[goggalor]

Nice gift from Levi, a bit boring but whatever. Deserved win anyway.

Looking forward to seeing Henao star in a grand tour riding for Sky next year, maybe even the Tour with Wiggins focusing on the olympics.

 

[maltiv]

Pretty much the same squad.

Here's the provisional start list for Colorado.

Man that start list is so insane. Almost better than the vuelta for some reason, to a 2.1 race. Says something about how important USA is for some sponsors. Will be a great showdown.

 

[jens_attacks]

a great race. it wasn't perfect for me but levi deserved the overall win.brajkovic seems a good bet for la vuelta,he was very strong.i'm a little dissapointed about babyface but maybe he will take his revenge in colorado....thank you gobernacion for some epicness.
tour of utah 2011 was one of the best races of the season for me.

 

[benpounder]

Henao shouldn't keep pulling if Levi is on his wheel, just drop back to Sevilla and then hit him again.

What? So that he may lose position to Jani?

 

[LaFleur]

Nice gift from Levi, a bit boring but whatever. Deserved win anyway.

Looking forward to seeing Henao star in a grand tour riding for Sky next year, maybe even the Tour with Wiggins focusing on the olympics.

No way will Henao be a leader in the TdF.. think reasonably. That would be 2 GC leaders? They need a man to the sprint train not for the GC..

 

[benpounder]

Levi wheelsucking to another undeserved victory

Undeserved? He is 27 seconds above the guy that tried several times to drop him - and matched every attack. and Gobernacion clearly had a stronger team.

I understand why so many here dislike Levi, it is the loathing that I cant fathom.
