shouldawouldacoulda said:RSH had 3 guys up in the top 20 today: Horner, Kloden, Lance.
Team classification is based on the first 3.
Still, they also wanted to retain Levi's GC. I think they made a mistake. If Lance had dropped back to pace Levi, there were only 2 GCE riders in front and RSH's team GC wasn't under threat. Lance should have tried to ride with Levi to pace him home.
I don't know what was going on... but when Levi was in trouble none of the other 3 RSH guys waited to help him.
Seems odd to me. Full results aren't up yet so we don't know the situation with how 'bad' Levi was nor how many other GCE riders may have been up around at the end - but I only saw Sanchez and Kiryienka.
