Yeah, but what happened to McGee? I can't believe someone of his caliber would quit so early..., or at all! He should've tried to finish even if he wasn't really in the spirit of being competitive. It would've been one more TdF under his belt and probably some good base training too. McEwen looked comfortable in Yellow, tho, and he's doing great this year.
Riding around ten minutes off the back of a peleton when you're sick, you raced hard earlier this year, and your back hurts isn't base mileage. It's suicide.
