Gotta give credit where credit's due.
Rabobank has delivered the goods! After a little spot of bother on the Galibier, they've come on strong. Good control, good numbers, good decisions.
Popovych is the domestique of the tour but special mention goes to Boogerd and Menchov. Maaan, what about that Boogerd guy. The lieutenant was always hammering up front on the last climb. I think he's gone above and beyond the call of duty. He's the perfectly suited for a breakaway or a stage win but he gave up all personal goals for the team.
And Menchov is special too not only because he performed well but because he was the leader of his team. He had his own goals of yellow in Paris but he devoted himself to Rasmussen when it was called for. Today, made a giant leap towards winning the Tour. Menchov and Boogerd tenderized the antaganonists and set the table for their leader.
When Menchov made the left turn to the steep slopes of the Aubisque, he completely detonated. He went from pace setter to zero mph. A couple of fans pushed him in appreciation of the effort. That is a good image to remember from this tour.
The job is not done yet but Rasmussen is in good hands with the orange armada.
