If you've come second in a Grand Tour then you can probably come first; but only probably. Sastre and Evans managed to win the Tour in the end when everything aligned for them and never looked like doing it before or after. It might happen for Uran but like Wiggins he would need a course suited to him, a very strong team working just for him and relatively weak opposition. Grand Tours are funny things, you can come second quite a few times and never actually have had a realistic chance of winning one (barring the GC leader withdrawing).

I think Contador is weakening, there was no tactical reason for him stay with Valverde rather than chase Froome the other day, but I'm not sure by how much. Sky look strong, even without Cataldo. Had Froome been in better form a week earlier I am sure he would have won the race but I suspect he will lose it by about the same as he did to Cobo. Which is galling.

^^^. Yes, the doping. She's not one for giving dopers a second chance. What she hates, really, is injustice, whether it be with dopers or British Cycling. Shane Sutton doesn't come out of it looking too good either. Not that she is just bitter or angry, she is also generous towards, and appreciative of, the people who helped her and her fellow athletes.

He's really not missed a single cliche of Martin Parr-style photography has he?
