Don't know why you were expecting anything else considering how he has been doing lately.

I will wait for the dauphine to make a judgment on how he will perform in july

Agreed.

I will just ignore the Schleck trolls, after all there is some light at the end of the tunnel for them right now
And it's getting darker and darker for you.

Well the good news is he showed a bit of explosiveness, the bad news is he paid big time for it :( When he went that early I thought it was a diversion for CAS or Kreuziger to break up the group and cause a selection but they weren't there, at least I couldn't spot them.

At least he was on the pointy end of the race for a few minutes LOL!

Back to the drawing board :(

I thought it was good he showed himself. He didn't want to be there after all. I didn't expect him to do any better.

From his interview, didn't seem that he wanted to do Ardeness in the first place. Maybe lack of form plus lack of motivation = lame ride. He reminded me of nibali when canondale forced him to race in USA while he wanted to do vuelta for sponsor reason. Well .. I'm still holding up my hope come Dauphene. At that point, he can't make any excuses..

Haha I was just joking around. Alberto has got plenty of time to improve before the tdf. His form in the Dauphine will be telling.

Still I must say I'm a bit traumatized:( Not a good mental image at all:eek::eek::(
