SpartAcus is a SuperPimp...no spoiler

I am probably stating the obvious but I am checking out the ToC on http://tracker.amgentourofcalifornia.com/ and watched as Cancellara is doing some serious mule-ing for his teammates. That guy has a monster engine.

Dude had to be loaded down with about a dozen water bottles (if not more) and food then blasts past a line of riders–seemingly effortlessly. Some folks I know who went to watch stage 2 in the hills used the word “uninterested” to describle Cancellara’s look as you watched him climb (as compared to Cav who was sporting the “barely hanging on” face). Like the road was flat to the rest of us. Amazing stuff.

It is cool that the P-R, Flanders winner is willing to work for the team. Awesome to watch.

No question about it - he is a super stud.

One of my all time favorite quotes came out of a very recent press conference with him and went like this-
Press man: “Do you know what your wattage was when you went up the Muur away from Boonen? Do you know what you were doing there, watt wise?”
Fabian: “…a LOT”

they had live power on Jens Voigt today at a point when the field was in crosswind and Radioshack decided to see if they could force a split. Jens was there in the first group, and being Jens was trying to help force the issue. He was holding 650 W or so for at least 4-5 min. He then participated in the leadout festivities.
