Whatever the outcome today, full marks to MVDP. I thought he'd bail in the middle of the race but he's competing like the competing fiend he is.
It's looks like it is only Leeimreize with a chance to prevent all of Italy from having to guzzle down some Hawaiian pizza.
Also tremendous to see Cav pushing to the end. Training? Honoring the race? Going to take another shot? Ride on.
