  1. And what a great show that is.
    When the fastest man on earth is healthy, the others fight for his wheel to
    get the 2nd place.

    While getting shoved into the barriers by last lead-out man Velo.

    I ain't sure today's last lead-out was Velo, he looked like Trenti or Cioni
    to me.
    But whoever he was, he didn't do anything irregular according to the UCI
    rules.

    Sorry, it was Trenti. I just assumed it was Velo after what happened to
    Trenti earlier. Unless you came to this conclusion separately, which is
    quite probable.

    I don't think Trenti's fade changed the result anyway.

    Maybe not, or probably not, given Zabel's talent for finishing second. I
    do think Trenti seriously hindered Zabel, enough to relegate and fine
    him, and warn him: another incident like that and you're out.

    It seems that the jury has very different ideas from you.
    Fortunately, because otherwise guys like Abdou or Moncassin would have
    never been able to race twice in a row.

    Not from your report, but not separately either 🙂 (Sporza on Canvas).

    Looking at the finishing GC I note that if Tony Cruz hadn't gotten dropped
    yesterday he'd be the man in Gold today.

    Guido Trenti and one hell of a fighter. Though blocking other sprinters
    doesn't make Ale look all that great.

    Please show a little more respect. Zabel is not my favourite rider
    (not by far!), but cynical remarks to devoted pros like Erik are ill
    placed.

    If I was on Fassa I'd try to crash him too.

    Fassa's other riders do a lot better when Petacchi is out (ref. TdF 2004)

    Looking up her skirt I noticed that if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle.
