Its nice Sammy Sanchez gets recognition from the forum about his performances, he only gets better in a GT so I hope he can at least keep his position or even move up the GC (but I may just be dreaming about that)

Wow, what a time trial by Serry. OPQS training must be insane.
But yes, indeed. They are turning Pieter into a stage racer. Who would have thought
I knew about this prologue, it was kinda funny result, but I am more impressed by his progress in long TT, I really can't get it even now. But I don't know, why am I surprised, Uran in Giro showed us big lesson.
Die hard fan of Tom Boonen and Quickstep since 2004.

won't be the first time some miracle recovery is made in sports. Arjen Robben for the 2010 soccer world cup for example.
sure soccer and cycling are really different but still won't look to much into it.

I agree with one point... Cycling is surely a lot more dope-controlled sport than football (soccer is for pussies and in Murica it's handegg) will ever be.

As long as Contador doesn't win the vuelta i'm happy.
Or Valverde, then i will be happy too
Then both of you come back next year because it's looks like Contador or Valverde will win and only Purito has realistic chance to comeback but he is bit way down. Way Froome has performed on last mountain stage and in his favoured discipline TT, it looks like he is not at his best .
Have to say though, i would be really happy for Rodriguez if he could pull the win out of the bag somehow

Right because Football is squeaky clean.
But yeah I don't have any idea how Contador could come back so well straight away from what should be an injury he would be working to beat for quite some time.

Strange TT.
Alberto the world dominator after the broken leg.
Quintana stupid enough to sort his socks or whatever that is just before the nasty turn.
Froome is nowhere in his beasty discipline
Purito top20 in (mostly) downhill TT

Well, Contador had some great basic fitness throughout the season (e.g Dauphine). A Pro at his age doesn´t loose his shape so quickly.
There are also rumors, saying he´s actually started training much earlier than told by him and his team.
