sad for quintana but that's cycling. also if he would have been in westra's form, he would have caught the peloton on his own on sizeranne.i have no idea for how long did he chase on his own but on the climb he looked dead.

gaspa and max are gonna be again an incredible force in the ardennes. awesome!

Albasini just knows how to win.

A rider can have heaps of talent but if he does not how to win it will be wasted.

Yeah, like the commentator on eurosport said, "" Albasini flies under the radar." He can sprint, he can climb and is a solid allround rider. Could not have won the sprint more convincingly. Good day for GreenEdge. Goss back to winning in Tirreno and Albasini in France.

does van garderen do better on uphill TTs or flat ones?

A stage hunter like few others.

He lost Tour of Utah or something on a MTT, in 2011 I think.

I guess you mean Colorado against Leipheimer? http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/usa-pro-cycling-challenge-2-1/stage-3/results

Yes. I knew it was in USA but couldn't remember which race.
Thank you!
