Maybe Menchov spent everything he had at the Giro?

Boogerd_Fan · Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2009 5:33 pm Post subject:

Menchov not even in top 20 on the climb - never mind the descent!

Game over... coz on TTT he's gonna lose the same again.

Great to see Evans survive with the Astana dream team.
Good signs for Kreuziger too.

Menchov's thoughts elsewhere?

Contador slow descender

Contador has done what he had to do. They're all chasing him now. He should be in a dominant position once they hit the Pyrenees.

Menchov's Tour could be over by the end of the TTT. He wasn't even the first Rabo rider home, which is saying a lot in a team that lacks depth in that department!

Solid from Evans and Sastre.

Menchov had a bad day but ultimately he lost a minute 20. Look at it this way - if any of the other riders were to have a bad day on a road stage a lose a minute they would not necessarily be ruled out.

People were ruling Sastre out last year after he lost a minute 20 on Evans in the first ITT.

Also, Rabo are not a terrible team for the TTT - 25 down on Astana with a non TT team and better than Liquigas, Cervelo and Saxo.

I think anyone writing any rider's obituary after one stage is more than a little premature.
