I thought that Saturday’s stage was riveting, despite being a “no result” for all intents and purposes. Everything was set up for a major attack on the final climb, but Voekler answered every attempt.
Plus it looks like Alberto's strategy of keeping his powder dry to allow his banged up knee time to heal may be paying off - it seems to have recovered enough to have let him make up some of his lost time today.
And if he didn't overdo it on this stage, maybe he can rouse a couple of members of the snoozing Schleck clan from their family naptime & stage a rootin-tootin' shoot-out up the Galabier & L'Alpe d'Huez.
(Or maybe that wascally SINO Thor can steal it away from the lot of them when no one's looking! Heh-heh.)
Voelker has proven he has a heart that won’t quit. He has become one of my favorite cyclists.
