Why will Vino never go away?

Remember the tearful goodbye on Eurosport last year during TDF?

Now he is here again....

EBH in an interview: "I tried to do a good prologue, as always, but I did it with no stress because I’m here at the Dauphiné only to ride for Bradley (Wiggins)."

So EBH can't go full blast over 5.7k because he is only here to help Wiggo?

Sheeeet.
He also said that he has no ambitions for the Dauphine, even if there are 3-4 stages which suit him perfectly...when asked if he were going to repeat his climbing performance from last year he answered that he wouldn't, because this year he'll be working on the flat instead since Sky has so many climbers. So yeah, his only ambitions for this race is to pull the peloton on the flat and fetch some water bottles. Incredible contrast from him as an amateur and neo-pro when he was disappointed every time he didn't win a race.

He's also on the front page saying his Tour goal is winning a stage. When did he turn into Thor Hushovd? :mad:

I think ebh realises this spring he will be a gregario. a good one, but still a gregario. he's allround but not exceptional in anything and he lacks engine for classics

6.49 by Rogers, that's quiet bad. Wet roads causing problems?
Riding in the rain is a massive disadvantage, those who were top 10 before it started will end up with undeservingly high placings if it continues.
