Where are your Vuelta picks?

D. Ferguson said:

My picks were Heras, Sevilla and Beltran. They are 2nd, 12th and 8th,
respectively, after 10 stages.

Wouldn't have picked Menchov to be 1st at this point but not surprised
at Sastre's strong showing.

Tough stage for DSC losing two riders, DNF.

Lots of racing left and tomorrow should be another good one.

Simoni, Mancebo, Landis. Simoni is 41st, Landis is out, but I'll be
wearing my Illes Balears jersey tomorrow...

I had
1. Rodriguez
2. Gonzalez
3. Landis

So much for that...

Hera -- where'd he been all year?

I'm told that some riders base their entire seasons on a single
race, the race they most want to win.

Okay -- who's ever done this before? Shown NOTHING at preliminary races?

Roberto Heras, 2003 and 2004.

(Okay, he won or placed in a June one-week race in those years, but
that doesn't always imply raging September form. 2002 was his best
year at the TdF since 2000, but he didn't win the Vuelta in 2002.
Maybe he figures there's a connection.)

Even Basso showed something:

Plus he DID work at MIT before the Tour:

from http://www.ivanbasso.it/ :
* 2° al Giro del Mediterraneo
* 10° alla Parigi-Nizza
* 10° alla Settimana Catalana
* 8° alla Liegi-Bastogne-Liegi
* 7° al Giro di Romandia

Not very exciting, I admit, making this a good example.

It's not just him. Sastre has also been absolutely zero all year long.

Unfortunately, he's still been better than Iban Mayo.
