Shit, Really?

That is what I uttered when i woke up late Sunday to catch the final 20k of Leige and saw Vino in the front group with Contador still with him. Also in attendance were 2 Schlecks (CSC), 2 Katushas, and 2 Caisse d’Épargne, and Cadel. Oh and GIlbert. I knew that both Cadel and Gilbert [...]
