I remember someone posted a quote from GEL during the last Tour where he said that everytime he goes past a turn he sees a Euskatel rider on the floor.

Wasnt that on Sweedish tv?

That was me who posted that. It was from when Larsson visited the swedish Eurosport commentators.

Simon Gerrans has been dropped every time the road has gone slightly uphill since he joined Sky. Uran is about as strong in the sprint and much stronger on the climbs. Anyway Nordhaug said in an interview that Uran would be their leader for the ardennes.
I thoght I'd never see the day that a small Colombian rider would be a leader of a European Pro-Tour team for the Ardennes. That is strange.

It's Sky. Don't think anyone on the team ever finished better than 6th in any of the Ardennes classics so it's not that outlandish that a rider in clearly better from should be the leader.

Gesink: "Basque country turns out to be a great training for the Ardennes classics. And I'm still in the front of the GC"

Interesting. He did seem to lack a bit of fire yesterday, but I still don't think he looked great in the climb.

Shame, I loved how Gesink would try win everything he rode.
Mentally he seems like a different rider at the moment, which is understandable to be fair.
