Best race I've seen in a long time but frenetic to keep track of. No one team had a stangle hold. I
wish is had been with longer coverage. Who was that listed as Phil Ligget with Sherwin? It didn't
sound like Phil.......... Did the dust get his voice.
Excellent for Ekimov. Nice seeing the old guy come thru. USPS with the added sponsorship is shaping
up to be more of an all around team that can be competitive in the classics.
