After finishing ahead of Ullrich, but well behind the lead group, in the first two stages, Tom Danielson finished in the lead group of 70 on stage 3 of Setmana-Catalana (UCI 2.1): cyclingnews.comsetmanacatalana04Open ↗
P.S. Zabel has 4 second places in his last 5 races. Does anyone keep records on this stuff? It's gotta be a record. The race before this string he finished 3rd.

His lack of racing miles is unfortunate, but if he does a good job of dragging VDB around, then that's good, too - at least for now.
I'll pick Danielson for 9th, under the assumption he isn't forced to play waterboy. 9th is pretty good. I never anticipated he's win.

I'd have been happy about it if he ended up in the top 15, but that didn't quite happen. Still, 18th at 1:19 is ok. That was a big bunch in at four seconds, including VDB.
