Tour de Pologne Final Stage
This is the last apparence for Zabriskie, before his time-trial at the World Championships, but he didn't perform too good, just as his rest of team-mates.
Gutierrez was very strong today, too bad he is in the same team with Valverde and he couldn't ride for himself untill now
This just wasn't suited for our team today. Gerdemann not beat Valverde, but he even lost the final podium
Valverde finished second behind his team-mate and so he won the Tour of Poland. He also took the Pro Tour rankings lead from Kim Kirchen.

no one in my team performed too good in the TT. I think it was just me with a wrong strategy, not like the perfect strategy in Vuelta with Lovkivst in the first TT. |

okey, let's say that you have to be second or worse sometimes, to make the next victory even better! (wc )

Vuelta a Espana Stage 20
Kloden was very fast, trying to make it 2 in a row. He caught Schleck, who started 2 minutes before him. And it seems that Kloden will get a place in top 10 after all.
Lovkvist was caught by Luis Leon Sanchez before the intermediate post, but he was faster on the second part of the TT, where he gained some time back. Still he lost the 6th place to Pellizotti
Samuel Sanchez's time is good, but he is too far in the overall rankings
Cunego is second behind Kloden today, but with that time he could put Karpets in truble
Soler was second at the start of the day. He will keep his place on the podium, but on the third position
Karptes is about to finish... less than 1 minute lost to Cunego. He did it, the rider that will ride for Columbia next season wins La Vuelta a Espana 2009.

Overall
Sorry but the game crashed, when loading the podiums so I couldn't export the results. |

7th is still nice.
But Soler 3rd is just crazy, was it form or have his stats increased?
