That was a funny quote -- then to see it played out in Danny's interview later was a crackup! Jonathan hit it right on the nose.

What was interesting is the winner (can't remember his name and too lazy to look it up), said that he felt at one point that Pate and the other guy (I'm bad) were way stronger than him and he was just hanging on at one point. That echos almost exactly what Pate said -- that the other two were way stronger than him and HE was just hanging on. Funny the two different perspectives in the same three-man breakaway!

Lovin' the Tour this year -- can't wait for Wednesday. You think a bomb went off yesterday, wait til Alp d'Huez. We're talkin Hiroshima, baby.
