Did Sami deserve to win? Yes. Did any of the six first deserve to win? Yes. Did Botero deserve to win? Mmmmmm... Maybe. Can i, after waking up 5AM after two hours of sleep, falling asleep three times during the race, and living in the quietest neighborhood in the world, sleep? No!

Oh yeah of course, i forgot that the organisers will probably make it as bias as possible for Cavendish. However there should be any climbs in london that Mark cant handle.
there are moderate hills. Nothing too bad though unless they head to the chilterns

Dunno, he dropped off and if your not going to get back on there isn't much point of going on. He couldn't handle not being leader methinks. |

After Nibali abandoned, he said that he had seen Contador suffering - and dont forget that he did do a fair amount of work for Spain when they came to the front.
Also, Contador is now aiming to peak at the Vuelta and having not raced much recently, he was never really going to get a great result.

He (Contador) also expects a gold medal on Time-Trial.. So he didn't finish to rest for TT. |

I dont suppose the London course will be quite as 'climby' though
The one that they said in the bid was one that my dad said. He posted it on the forum and obviously the BOA saw that. It's round Hampstead Heath way. One half mile climb that's about 1 in 8. |

No way..if he does that..it's kind of miracle..and sign that he has peaked way to early for Vuelta |

Undeserved victory for Sanchez in my opinion. Cancellara looked like a motor bike, he is not from this world. |

Why is it undeserved? You can't just say that he didn't deserve it, IMO he was the one that worked hardest on the downhill in the frontgroup.

I'm not going to argue that with a young man that has Sanchez as his avatar, it just wouldn't be appropriate for a gentleman. |

Sami was ok to win he looked at tour 3rd week already much better when tour started..and where is downhill here also Sami flys..Rebellin was only italian for me on that race also.
Taaramäe told after race that he had incident with Kolobanev...
He moved closer to peloton peak..Kolobanev was there. At first few nasty words..then he start pushing..and finaly Kolobanev kicked. Good that bastard was out of podium |

I dont know how you can say Sanchez' win was not deserved. He worked bloody hard in the group of 3 and who else would be able to out run a charging Canceralla |
