Luis Leon in 10th, could he actually show up in more than two races this year? Or should I not get my hopes up considering he's still racing in that dreaded orange and blue... ;)

He said he had some hard time adapting to rabobank last year, but that things were better now. (wouldn't expect him to say any different to the press;))

I wish he could realize the mistake and just go back to Unzue. What a rider he was back then. What he is now. (how many years into his conract btw?)

Might be getting a bit confused but why wasnt Wiggo wearing a normal sky skin suit today? Dowsett is British Champ.

Good question. Late problem with his normal skinsuit perhaps.

Now I'm very confused. He was (wasn't he?) sitting in the tent with the British champs skin suit on, but my brain does remember him wearing a SKY suit during his run.

If he changed into it after the race, then it all becomes very weird.

edit: he changed into regular British champs jersey.

I thought De Clercq was more of a climber guy and here he is finishing between Costa and Riblon in a TT

Wonder what's in the water over in Belgium...

His trainer is Wim Vansevenant ;)

De Clercq has done more decent TTs. And Costa and Riblon are hardly Wiggins and Martin.

Now that I think about it, you're right. I underestimated his TT qualities.

De Clercq was a neo-pro last year, so it would have been hard to under or over-rate his time trial abilities in the first place...
