Bad day for T-Mobile

Wesemann, Hiekman, Botero, out. Vinokourov was hurting. Cadel Evans
must've avoided dinner with the group last night because he was the only
T-Mobiler who finished strong. He moves up into top 5 on GC.

Valverde is in 4th, at +0:09. Kelme doesn't look like a Div. 2 team.

Aitor Gonzalez showed good form, too.

Landis looked smooth.

He looks guilty to me.

Where did Vino finish ? (the cyclingnews results only list up to 62nd
(56sec back) so he must have lost out big time - presumably Evans will be
their no. 1 for the rest of the vuelta.)

Not yet sure. He went out the back when the peloton hit the start of the
Torremiro. About halfway up, when the grupetto was forming up around him,
the motocams went ahead to track the gold jersey group. I didn't see him
after that.

I don't think we've had such a team sickness since PDM.

What do you think they're on? My guess is that Evans spiked the water
bottles with Ex-lax.

Maybe they got some bad bottles from Gerolsteiner. It is odd that Evans
apparently wasn't affected. Maybe it's early onset of glandular fever from
kissing on the team bus. You know how those pro racers are when away from
home and hearth.
