Granted winning Le Tour or any of the big three for that matter can solidify a career, but couldn't he also be a fantastic winner of the mountains? Could we not celebrate his ability to kick effin ass in the mountains? Do we always need the next great hope?
I'm sure it takes a special type of rider to win a tour, but as amazing as Cadel or whomever wins this year is, I enjoy guys racing for today, now, the moment. The one day classics this past year really turned me on to the moment. Stage racing, maybe the hardest type of racing, but the "big Guns" wait for a week to come out and play. I don't know. Ricco rocked the other day and I hope he continues to do so. Maybe he can be a badass climber like his idol, although his idol did with big ones, but look at the deamons he lost out to. just sayin.
