Top 10
1) Roberto Heras Hernandez (Spa-Lsw) = Disq
2) Denis Menchov (Rus-Rab)
3) Carlos Sastre Candil (Spa-Csc)
4) Francisco Mancebo Perez (Spa-Iba)
5) Carlos Garcia Quesada (Spa-Ecv)
6) Ruben Plaza Molina (Spa-Ecv)
7) Oscar Sevilla Ribera (Spa-Tmo)
8) Tom Danielson (Usa-Dsc)
9) Mauricio Alb.Ardila Cano (Col-Dvl)
10) Juan M.Mercado Martin (Spa-Qst)

So if you elimate those named in the Fuentes affair and exclude the Ecv
riders based on the common knowledge that they all dirty you're left
with a virtual podium of:

1) Sastre
2) Danielson
3) Ardila

I'm on the fence of whether Ardila gets axed because he's a Columbian
and therefore a doper. That would move Mercado up to 3rd. And the
naysayers said Danielson was GT podium material.
