[sarcasm]Well, I mean, they are a Spanish team, sponsored by a Swiss company an Italian company, and an American company, that's close enough right?[/sarcasm]

Looking at today's stage, it is like Greipel wins more easily without a train. And finally Armstrong didn't try to set up a train for Radioshack. Every time he tried, his team train dropped like a boulder in the water. So today's intention of attention was going with a breakaway instead.

Cardoso can't compete in the sprints (he's on the level of a Viganò or so in terms of speed), but he can climb, so when the other sprinters get dropped....
And since this was an uphill finish...
Still odd of a sprinter to attack, but I guess he felt he couldn't compete with Greipel and co. in a straight sprint.....which is right, he can't.
1) Cardoso, today beat Roelandts, Dean, Hunter, Roelandts, Cooke, Henderson, Rojas... Well done Vigano's twin ! Similar speed in PCM probably -.-' It's his first race really like outside the Iberian Peninsula and he's beating them, so stay calm with absolutly incredible non-sense comparations between two different riders. It's .. LOL Do you use speedometers?
2) Yeah, really odd of a sprinter to attack. Oh wait. Cardoso attacked 200 metres to the finish line. Damn it, i think Petacchi never won any race sprinting, but only attacking 200 meters to the line !
It definitely was. The most exciting in TDU history according to Liggett. Very impressive by Luke Roberts (if he was the milram rider) who got across to get second.
