| Hmm, I must book an appointment with Horner's knee surgeon.
Davey was out and plans to watch the recorded stage later.
But the stage 3 results are interesting - likewise stage 2
Its early days yet, but Valverde looks good.
The bit across the bridge where the 'returning' riders would have run
head on into the still 'coming' riders riding on the wrong side of the
cones down the middle of the road was a classic bit of Spanish
[dis]organization, fortunately some of the sharper riders in the bunch
saw the disaster coming and shouted at everyone to slow down (which
they did). (Even Valverde though probably with gritted teeth). Horner's
late break was fucking awesome, it makes him the oldest GT stage winner
ever. My money is still on Nibbles to take the GC, Astana look really
impressive.
