I wish I had more to comment on this race. It really is one I like but write ups are pretty short. I am starting to wonder what's going on with Fabian. Being a powerhorse in TT type stages with some serious kick with stages that suit him, I'm not thinking he'd be up near the top, but I'm surely not expecting to see him come in so far at the end. I checked CSC's site but I don't see a write up today. Hopefully all is well and he's just getting in miles and training for July. I often don't comment much on finishing places as they usually are misleading as some have the job of early on hard-as-nails support for stages and then are more likely seen coming in later. Just not sure I'm used to seeing him come in so far back like this. Hmm...?
I was hoping George would update his site with a note or another cool iphone pic but it's been quiet. Slipstream is trying to animate but not having much luck just yet. A couple more days. :-)
For an unrelated but funny and enjoyable read check out The CaliRado Cyclist. It's also posted over in Missing Saddle but I usually see the post on the blog first. Good and funny stuff he writes so take a read!
