    16:00 CEST 91km/55.4km to go
    Bad news for American Tom Danielson (Discovery Channel). He was one of
    the riders involved in the crash, and he has been force to abandon. He
    had been targeting this race after missing out on the Tour de France.
    We will bring you updates on his condition has we have them.

    So much for his season. May he bounce back soon.

    Hopefully he will find his role riding for Slipstream next year. I was
    encouraged when I read that JV said that thinking of him as a potential
    Grand Tour winner didn't seem possible and that TD was probably hurt by the
    "Next LA" tag given to him when he joined Tailwind.

    Yah, I never thought he had what it took to get to the podium of a GT. I think he
    could do top ten again (he already has a sixth and eighth in the Vuelta) or possibly
    five if things went right but that last little bit of whatever it takes to get to the
    top just doesn't seem to be there. He seems like a great guy and is certainly fast
    but GT contender just doesn't seem to be in the cards. It's too bad he's out so soon
    in this Vuelta, though.

    Isn't that what they said about Lance? First he was going to be the NEXT
    LEMOND and then he was just a big sprinter-type and look what happened.

    The fact is that Danielson has what it takes to become a grand tour winner
    regardless of what others have to say. He has a bad day on each grand tour
    and without that he'd look a great deal better.

    Isn't "not having bad days" pretty much requirement 1 to be a GT
    winner?

    Now he won't be able to lead Devolder up the mountains. It's a big
    blow to Discovery but they still have a great chance for a podium
    finish.

    Flandis and LANCE both bonked on their way to first place in the Tour.

    And those bad days came when he was hosting Giardia.

    And let's remember that it is a Spanish disease.

    I had no idea that diseases had nationalities. I do know that
    Giardia is quite well know in Durango Colorado, TD's current home town
    when he's in the states. A number of years ago the drinking water
    supply of the local ski area became contaminated. And NOBODY knew
    that the little critters had migrated all the way from Spain!

    They came in via Italy AKA Mexico.
