I felt horrible yesterday. I felt bad the first day in the mountains and then yesterday was absolutely horrible. I could have ridden better up that climb in November! If you look at my performances all year, it just doesn't make any sense. I am not sick, there is nothing wrong with me - I have no idea what happened. I have never ridden that bad in my life. I was 36th on the mountain stage... 36th! I have never finished 36th on a mountain stage.

LOL, now it is all clear to me...

But please clarify, fellow-CF posters. Why focus on this guy so much, when he never does anything? I can understand having 101 threads on Basso, Armstrong, Kaiser Jan, etc. But TD? Who cares?

Danielson is jealous..a bit..it`s nothing wrong with that. It has to be a difficult time for all more known riders than Brajkovic. However, it`s not true that he does nothing! Remember, he was in top10 in GC in last year`s Vuelta. I don`t want to start this topic again, but that is definitely a great result. Vuelta is 3rd biggest stage race..remember that. But yes, Brajkovic is better. At least will be...

Because its funny... the claims from himself, Bruyneel and co. that this guy is the real deal but he always amounts to nothing... you can see why riders don't want to go to Discovery anymore (Kessler, Basso etc.) because even if you're a better rider the management will chose a tool like TD and make him team captain for a Grand Tour ! What’s even funnier at the Vuelta is you have a guy who is 22 and is leading the race but they will still probably make him work for TD who is 4 minutes back ! No wonder Savo is going to Astana/Lampre……..
