yeah, right through the back of the windshield eh?

i did that about 4 years ago now.. big old utility van, just glad it was one with windows instead of solid doors. rode home from the spot on the bike instead of from the spinal trauma unit in a wheelchair

also heard that Mauricio Soler, that gangly Colombian who took the KoM last year as a rookie, probably refractured his wrist from earlier this year and is probably done.. rather a shame as Barloworld has had a great year up to this point and obviously have high hopes for stage wins & the other jerseys during the tour with Robbie Hunter and Soler both.

I think Valverde wanted the victory.. he basically said as much when they were talking to him about the uphill sprint yesterday. Pretty awesome that he followed through & no sweat if they only hold the jersey for a few days.. the mental tactics have already begun.
