2008 Catalunya - Stage 3

I wish there was better coverage of this. Results took a long time to come up tonight. The past couple years I've followed this one closer then the Giro. Not sure if I like it being so close to Girona where the guys train or why but I still like it. The video diaries that Freddie did a couple years ago that included clips might be the reason. The race certainly isn't lacking any talent and I love following George and Barry.
