Thanks, I didn't saw too many posts, so I was thinking that everybody lost his interest. So, if things go like this... SHOW MUST GO ON (as someone said once in a song...)
Final flat stage of this year's ToC, but tomorrow we'll have some more action..
Again Daniele goes as favourite, in his bid to capture the points jersey.
Just when we got the start, a breakaway was formed.
On the other hand, Jens Voigt was enjoying his first day in yellow after yesterday's win.
Th breakaway as caught with less than 5 km, just when the sprinters were positioning themselfs up.
Bennati catched the good train and won by a mile from the other sprinters.
This win also takes him top of points jersey. I forgot to export the results, but nothing special to report.

well, I'll try to bring the last stage of ToC, but a bit later since I have to go somewhere.
As if it's great or not.... It's been very dissapointing for me not to win this race, (especially because I was the team leader), but my hill stats didn't helped me too much. I think I'll edit them, because there's no way I can win at least a stage. I still hope for more in Tour du Haut Var.
EDIT : F*** ! F*** ! F*** ! I don't know what happened to my career, but it rolled back to the 2nd of January!!! Damn, now I can't continue my story! Promise I'll be back with Roman Kreuiziger's story, but... WITH A DIFFRENT TEAM !!!
