It always seems a bit feeble when the people in the break refuse to chase down an escapee lest they assist someone else. Thus they all deny themselves a chance after flogging their guts out all day to get into that position.
Good luck to that bloke wot won it though!

He's come close to winning a few times already but this, I believe, is his first pro win. He won the Tour de l'Avenir last year though. Seems like quite a prospect.
He completely mugged the others in the breakaway. What on earth were they thinking, allowing him to escape like that so close to the finish?

Just been catching up with the highlights of the last week been some good racing.
Regards Horner - the performances do raise an eyebrow but that has already been covered so wont add any more.. However on a more general point - going back a few years now he's been an unpopular rider on online forums (this is before his comments about Armstrong last year). Is there a particular reason for this? I'm not aware of any evidence or substantial rumours linking him to doping programmes or specific doctors (unlike the likes of Hincapie and Zabriskie etc before their confessions yet they managed to remain as popular riders) so what is the deal with Horner?

Chapeau Ratto .. or should that be sombrero Ratto
Been unable to follow every stage, but christ Sky have got this Vuelta wrong. Really surprised at Uran and Henao, especially as I thought they would both be looking to be in tip top condition this time of year with the worlds coming up. Looks like Roche had a stinker today, less so than Basso though
Horner on the juice and Noodley dressing as a nun .... both involve a bad habit
