Nice one, BD.
The Basque and Spanish riders don't usually race the Classics (modern exception being Flecha). Interesting stuff.

The thing that bothers me most about the ProTour is seeing the Spanish teams racing the cobbles, but I guess I owe J.J. an apology.

Ok, Juan Jose Oroz Ugalde is now officially a legend. He becomes my official pick to finish every race he starts. And, you know, win one sometime maybe? I hope he does because he clearly has more balls than most of his team mates.
