Yep, that's right. And they aren't invited for the TdF either. And I doubt the Vuelta organizer wants Fuji-Servetto on the starting line too....so Kessiakoff most likely have to even stop thinking of riding a Grand Tour this year. If the team makes it through this year without any doping-case maybe maybe they might be riding the Giro next season. Otherwise I guess Kessiakoff needs to find a new team
But, I agree! It would have been really cool to see him ride the Giro for example. I think that race might suit him well. |

Yep, but they waited too long in the end Albasini was way quicker when only 200m was left to the line! |

He started at the front (like descent lead out man)..they not even get close to him..
Climbers did one thing orrectly..they know that never go to sprint in lead position.always keep himself behind. |

The sprint was downhill, no wonder Albasini had it easy. Vandenbroeck and Vandevelde waited too long with attacks.
Anyway, who cares. More importantly, Dekker is showing signs of life when on some parts of the stage, he was actually in front! Remains the fact that this stage was easy and the peloton was riding easy. But at least...he is alive. |

Anyway, who cares. More importantly, Swift is showing signs of developing into a great rider, he was in front at the finish. Remains the fact that the breakaway won the stage. But at least...he is alive (Just like everyone else).
