Rabobank directeur sportif Erik Dekker didn't want to make a choice between Rasmussen and Menchov. "There are still two time trials coming up. Who knows how much time Rasmussen will lose there? It wouldn't be surprising if he loses five minutes and seeing Valverde within that time isn't too good. Rasmussen worked on his position but he didn't do much training on the time trial bike," Erik Dekker admitted.

Good to see confidence in his guy in the yellow jersey! I can understand everybody else talking about Rasmussens poor timetrialling but the team director? Sheesh.
