Vuelta - Tom Danielson Diary

American Tommy Danielson is in 8th place in the GC after Stage 6 of the Vuelta. Discovery teammate Janez Brajkovic is second overall, although in a support role. The CN site is posting Danielson's diary, although not a lot has been written so far. Here's a bit about his late start as a roadie:

"...this is really only my third year as a professional cyclist. It makes things a little more difficult than for some other riders of a similar age. For example, when Ivan Basso was winning the world under 23 championships, I was doing group rides and getting dropped!" -TD
