That's always a good point. Heras has been there before, and not only won, but won with 2 entirely different teams.

I agree about Valverde. It's a shame he crashed today, hopefully it won't have a significant effect on his chances.

Postal sent Zabriskie up the road today and one possible explanation is that they believe that Landis is unlikely to be able to withstand the attacks in the mountains to come and are looking for a stage win, which is what they said from the beginning. (Max is out of the Vuelta of course)
