Re: Tour de France 2007

Vino wiped out and wound up losing over a minute on today's stage. He blew apart his team, and probably himself, trying to claw back time over the final 20 km. I'm still amazed his team nominated Vino the main man instead of Kloden. Vino's simply too mistake prone to win the TDF. Yes, he can have some spectacular stages, but he doesn't pace himself well, he mistimes his attacks and he's a poor bike handler. Meanwhile Kloden is superior in time trials, a consistent climber and he has good long haul race instincts.
