True.

The rest of the guys there weren't working as much because they knew that carrying him to the finish would mean they were fighting it out for 2nd. All of those guys knew that if they were with him in the end, they were toast...and that is what happened.

While watching it, I was saying, "Now watch George just grab a wheel to the end." But, I ended up being surprised by his performance. He was covering many of the moves and did bridge to Zirbel. Good for George.

Any self-respecting athlete knows how incredibly lame that was. '06 US champs? Needed a little help from new teammate Levi, right? His first US win? Nobody was there. Classic underachiever. With this said, I really hope he wins Flanders or Roubaix before he retires to his gated community.


Seriously??? I agree with you on a lot of these points. But in the final ToC stage I was somewhat shocked by GH's performance. I didn't think he had it in him! I thought he rode agressively and smart (did I just say that?) in that stage.

I think he looks like a well tanned version of the guy in the middle of this picture.

In the reply page, there is an icon to the left of the "#" icon (it should say "Insert image" when you move your mouse over it). Click on this icon, and then post the image's url.
