Well, I have been without writing (because I'm busy, I might say, but the truth is that it has been for simple laziness) and today I will dedicate a few lines at the end of the 2010 cycling season.
already finished the Vuelta, a very beautiful Tour with much struggle and Basque Igor Anton protagonist (and all too Euskaltel-Euskadi) to the unfortunate time of his fall. I am convinced that Igor had won the Vuelta. On the mountain was found to be the strongest, had a nice advantage with several high end still to play, and the chrono think it would have been at the height of Mosquera, or very well.
But it fell, what can we do. After there, Nibali was more regular and knew the race with intelligence. Mosquera was also a high level, but the subsequent positive, I agree not to assess his performance so far.
Two other runners were very good were Purito Rodriguez, who paid in the time trial generous efforts all year to stop and Philippe Gilbert, immense, as was immense in the World Cup.
Gilbert has always been a top-notch runner. The Walloon knows to run, known to attack and the high end are not large ports is overwhelming. His last lap in the Australia's World was great, but does not always win the World Cup the strongest, and this time another great rider, Thor Hushovd, was the smartest and the least wasted effort.
By contrast, the English national team wasted all forces. Yes, they managed to Freire (another major corridor) to reach the end with options to contest the sprint championship, but did not have the necessary strength and lost another chance to win the coveted rainbow jersey quarter and has only one chance.
Well, there are still some nice races like the Tour of Lombardy, a beautiful career.
PD: No talk of doping cases that have been published. First, because are not yet final, so we should not prejudge anything, and second because it kills the cycling doping and dopers do not deserve our attention.
