Aqua can consider it a success.

Geox gotta be dissapointed, but Menchov's 7th place still makes the team some what worth while. 5th place for katusha not bad either.

Colnago a little dissapointing.
Pozzovivo, I expected so much more...

Q/step bmc vacan radio and sky I find dissapointing.

Given the fact that no one really pushed AC (like Andy did in 2009 and 2010), I bet he is relatively fresh all things being considered. I don't think he will be at a significant disadvantage (because he rode the Giro) at the start of the TdF (if he starts).

Perhaps you missed the word "relatively" and the phrase "all things being considered" that proceeded and followed, respectively, the word fresh.

Gogo referring to Millar's height versus that of the podium girls:

"He has to bend the knees to get his cheeks down there" :eek: :D

Perhaps you missed the difficulty of this race.

According to Danish media Alex Rasmussen rode the last few hundred metres on a flat tyre. That's gonna sting!

Didn't comment the exact grammar, but your point as a whole, but if you are unable to understand this, that is unfortunate for you :)

Being heads and shoulders above competition =/= easier race or a 'relatively' fresh rider.

I'm sure all the riders, including Alberto Contador, are feeling the last 3 weeks a lot. WIll be a massive disadvantage for those going into the tour imo.
