Winning the climber's jersey at the Spanish Tour is like winning the KOM on our Frederick ride. As worthless as the jersey's it's printed on. Despite the Spaniards being very proud of their climbing, they have struggled in the last few years, and, since most of the good ones have aspirations of winning the Golden Fleece, they usually don't get after it in the mountains.<br /><br />Moncoutie is also always a leading candidate for the lanterne rouge - DFL. I wouldn't have picked him to outclimb Thor any more than I would have picked Thor to outclimb him.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079220291482067777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32769366.post-89640370140851945682011-07-27T11:26:02.320-04:002011-07-27T11:26:02.320-04:00Just wanted to add that this was a great overview ...Just wanted to add that this was a great overview - actually better than other TDF articles from "professional" writers that i've read recently.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889522815625481107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32769366.post-85966060178196487732011-07-27T10:41:31.024-04:002011-07-27T10:41:31.024-04:00Ha - I knew my comment about your boy Thor being j...Ha - I knew my comment about your boy Thor being juiced would get a response. Roy wasn't the only guy in contention for stage 13 - Moncoutie - a 3-time mountains classification winner at the vuelta a espana got second place in the stage. Wouldn't you consider him a climber?Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889522815625481107noreply@blogger.com
