Dessel has impressed me, I thought he would shell bigtime on L'alpe D'Huez, but yet here he is still plugging away.
Rasmussen is on the Col Du Mallord. Only a Cat 2 climb,mainly because it is so short, but it is still a tough climb 150KM into a killer stage.
As a Frenchman, if Dessel makes it onto the final podium on the Champs-Élysées, that would make him...like...Vanilla Ice famous.
Somehow in all the commotion today I missed that yall had earlier given props to my man.(Dessel) He's 4th GC today! My question is, given that he's in a pretty good position, if he does really, really well tomorrow, but not so hot on the ITT like everyone is saying he's expected to do,and say maybe Kloden totally tanks, is it possible he could actually win this? Officially, he's supposedly riding for Christophe Moreau (leader of Ag2 team after Mancebo got booted), but he's riding better than Moreau is -can a measley domestique just go for it if he wants to at the end? (I know I'm grasping at straws here. But first Basso, then George & now Floyd went kaput, so Cyril is all I have left.)
