* Sigh * I'm such a junkie I entered a team. Stealthily. But since there's a league, I might as well give Fergus some fodder for his next conquest. I've gone with a new name, "Rohshack Test", and my usual bunch of up and comers, never wases, and guys with impossible to spell names (more than one is all three of those!):
Wiggins, Brajkovic, Kruijswijk, J. Rodriguez, Petacchi, Sagan, Van Summeran, Phinney, Van den Broeck.
I see I'm last already. Since I'm doing my own version of a Tour, and watching in person two stages of the Colorado race this week, I won't be following the Vuelta very much, much less catching it online TV.
No man is an island, Fred ...
A dominating performance put his team waaay up in the world rankings, followed closely by Mr. Whelan's team.
Well done, gents.
Who is Juan Jose Cobo and what's a Geox/TMC ("The team's current title sponsors are Geox, an Italian shoe company, and TMC, a multinational company that develops electric transformers with cast resin windings.") Sastre and Menchov I've heard of, and also Ricardo Ricco.
It was a good tour and vuelta this year. The riders were prepared to challenge each other and no one was head and shoulders better than another. Roll on next year for another interesting installment and some new names to throw into potential winners hat.
Well done Al - good team choice.

I've heard some things that suggest Cobo's performance was due to the ties/predecessor of the Saunier-Duval 'practices', but only time will tell.
That was some awesome attacks by Froome though, I'll give him that much!
But those 2 sure battled it out and it was great to see and nice to see 2 guys on teams that had Menchov and Wiggins on them do well- along with Menchov and Wiggins. It's not as though those guys had bad tours either.
