Does anyone else find it interesting that Mayo looked to be ready to attack on Jan during the chase for Lance, but sat in the pack? Also, why would they (Zubeldia and Mayo) attack Jan right before the finish? It is highly, highly unlikely either will podium thus, no need for the time bonuses and both are way out of the King of the Mtn contest. Could other teams be helping Lance?
Also, look where the Euskaltel team is…2nd place. The top how many teams get an automatic invite for next year? So they want to keep their team up there. And yes, to not press in your home area? No way, especially in a place like the Pyrenees with all the Basque fans.
