I really enjoyed the last 20km of that stage last night. I was flicking around with my TV, trying to find the DVR recording of Eneco stages 5-7 and stumbled across this. What a pain for Rohan Dennis, but chapeau Phinney.

Bookwalter obviously doesn't care about the most top tens in a season without winning classification! Seems like a lot of riders aren't suited to these high altitude fast paced climbs.

An extremely skinny rider; well... that narrows it down...
I kept expecting/hoping to see a red and white figure bopping his way back towards the front. But... no.

Has the field for this race always been so weak???
The only class GC rider I see is Kreuziger, and he's a stretch.
The Tour of California field was so bad this year that I didn't attend the epic Mt. Baldy stage, which I loved doing in 2011 and 2012 with 1000s of fans lining Mt. Baldy Road (although not this year), girls in bikinis, people ringing cowbells (for the recreational riders like me that did the ultimate climb 1 hour before the pros) and fans offering beer and wine to the rec riders.
Does America miss The Controversial Lance Armstrong that much????

I was. Though admittedly while also doing other things on my computer, and the video wasn't the best quality.

Well... he's not exactly used to it, we haven't got that around here!
Caja Rural continuing their impressive season. Great performance by Carthy and Roson (why isn't he picked for Avenir???). Ready to tear up the Vuelta next.

Re:
What level is this race? What level is Avenir?
Maybe he was simply picked for the highest level race because he's just that good.
