It will be interesting if Rock Racing gets in some euro races next year and brings Bahati to a few.
Velonews had this interesting tidbit:
Vande Velde set off by himself with 14 laps to go to scoop up a $400 prime, then stayed off in full time-trial mode for six laps, building a 16-second lead. The crowd roared with every pass.
...
Cruz said the peloton was at first unimpressed with the Olympian in their midst. "A lot of these were like, 'Whoo, hoo, Christian Vande Velde, Tour de France, big deal.' And then when he hit it, you hear some guys talking trash. Then two laps later we're strung out and nobody's talking, and Christian is gaining ground.
"It actually really pisses me off. There are a lot of disrespectful guys. They need to go to Europe and see what it's like before they talk."
