The Barb said:Exciting race.
Very bad result for image of the sport. Every story outside of the usual cycling media will be about the drug cheat winning, not about the style of the win.

The final moment will lead to an endless discussion wether Vino bought this or not, but if Vino really did buy the race I hope they wouldn't do it this obvious don't you think?
I don't believe it

Bad day for cycling.
Vino has a lot of fans who know cycling, but for the average sportsfan, Vino is a doper and another example of the fact that cycling is a sport dominated by dopers.

Mellow Velo said:Anyhow, the Cav course actually produced a great race; much more animated than the average World Champs.
Who would have thought?
A Kazakh, Columbian, Norwegian podium.
Very inoffensive.
Big red faces for GB, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Australia, Holland and even France.
Very sad scene with Cancellara.
Season done, I'd say.
