Dumbass -

The Danielson lovefest is pretty ridiculous. He's got even less
potential than Taylor Phinney.

I read the first few lines of that article but couldn't bring myself
to read it in its entirety. First thing I thought was that contenders
don't build form by finishing in the autobus. To get ready for the
TdF, I figured he'd need to be duking it out at the sharp end of
things for at least a portion of the harder stages.

Somewhere I'd gotten the idea that you were a racer but that comment
certainly shows you're not.

You're plain wrong. He is a contender. Just not the kind you're
thinking of. He's vying for a bottle boy position on the Garmin TdF
squad. Seriously.

He doesn't seem like he has lived up to his potential, although what
else is he going to say to the press when they ask him about his
horrible form...

Speaking of contender's, does anyone remember when Paul and Phil were
touting Hincapie as the heir apparent to Armstrong to win Le Tour
while it was on? They should be ashamed!

You're right, he does sub-threshold "efforts".

From the article-
'The American thus focused on working for his team and rebuilding his
form. "I worked hard for the team," he continued. "I gave my all in the
team time trial and then I gave my all in the sprint stages for Tyler
[Farrar], so I was just really happy to be here doing that stuff. At the
end of the race I was told I could go up the climbs a little bit faster
so I just went at my own pace trying to build form for the future."

You guys got it all wrong. Danielson may be a great rider being held
back by a (series of) bad DS. It's so obvious in that last sentence. "I
was told I could go up the climbs a little bit faster (so I did)..."

So the question is, why have his various DSs not been telling him to go
faster? This is sounding more and more like a conspiracy than an issue
with Danielson's capabilities.

Conspiracy for sure. That horrid DS Bruyneel must have held Danielson
back terribly. And then further torpedoed TD's career by declining to
resign him for USPS/Disco/Astana.
