Graham Watson is great. Not as good as Motionboy though.;)

Yah, I had to get to work and missed watching the end, but I followed it online and will watch tonight.

Crashes suck.

If it's a mountain top finish they don't have to wear helmets.

that rule is kinda dumb, when you think LA actually did crash riding uphill in last years Tour, you don't need to be going fast to crack your head open eh ?

Yea. Although, an uphill finish is probably safer than a sprint finish...

I just finished watching today's stage... there were a couple close calls near the finish. I thought for sure a couple people were gonna go down in the last 200m.

So with the Giro now over does Simoni start thinking about a different team for next year? Sure seems like a major changing of the guard is taking place this year in the pro peloton with a bunch of incredibly talented youngins pushing the old guys out of the way (Cunego, Valverde, Popovich, McGee, Cooke, and Basso to name a few).

No doubt - that ended up being an interesting ending huh? I bet one of them leaves the team. DRAMA!
