Yeah, the boy done good, nobody is missing from that roster except
Valverde. An item of interest is the presence of Zdenek Stybar at 12..
This guy knows how to ride a bike that's for sure and he should have
room to improve.

Cadel did bloody well here too. I'm surprised he held off Purito.

Oh yes that's right, for some reason I appear to have mentally written
Cadel off for this season, possibly somewhat prematurely.

Geez and here I thought it was just a training race.

This clip of three of the best climbers in the world trying to be
sprinters should put paid to that notion. The bike 'throws' are fairly
amusing.http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/13...s-of-stage-fiv...

Professional bike riding has always been a performance in both
senses. It is meant to amuse, that is its purpose. Froome acts well
and is expected to take the lead role for the end of season
festivities.
