So sad and frustrating to see Andy lose like that today. He has so much exuberance and joy for cycling that I cheer like mad for him. But he is still a young guy with a lot less experience than Contador, Menchov and Sanchez. I think today will be part of his overall growth and maturation as a team leader. It's nice that he is buddies with some of his rivals but now he knows this isn't sleep away camp. These guys will eat you alive if they get the chance. Hope he can channel his anger and disappointment into taking back the lead. Riis needs to guide him well tonight.
