But the most important goal, to which every other race pales in comparison, was saved by Luis Leon. There's no doubt anymore he's their best and most valuable rider.
Of course he is at the moment. But you're doing like the rest is bs. Rabo is more than LL Sanchez, last weeks proved that. And Gesink and especially Mollema were very helpful today. Without them he wouldn't have won (that's my educated guess).

Big props to LLS, great win.

I'd rather have my palmeres read a win at SS than ToC or Eneco, to be honest.
It's not about your preferences, it's about sponsor goals.
 
Congrats to LLS, it was a nice attack, even if he was not so strong on the climbs beforehand.

I'm happy that Gerrans looks to be approaching good form again and Meersmann with this result confirms he is having a good season ( which he already had ).

Henao/ Uran looked very strong.

who cares about those stagewins. ll sanchez is winning the races that matter to wt teams

That's not the point. The point is that winning 4 stages and 2 WT races in like a week and a half is worthy of being called 'on fire'. 5 out of 6 of these victories weren't from LL Sanchez so it's fair to say 'Rabobank is on fire'. Whether the victories matter wasn't the point at all.
