These guys are studs! Jufre and De la Fuente away for a good part of the days stage! Awesome! What an amazing effort and again they put SRAM RED on the front for hours. These guys are fighters and scrappers, it’s fantastic to witness. They lead the team competition on yesterday’s stage and Ricco took back the best young riders jersey. Then Ricco jumps across in the finale, going for his second stage, obviously not getting it. These guys may or may not factor in the overall but I love to watch them race.

Finally, Luis Leon Sanchez is a stud, the guy has impressed me all season. Congrats to him and his team, Caisse d’Epargne.

Note: We’ve decided not to remove any posts on TheRoadDiaries.com. One of the many unfortunate things about the situation is that we as sponsors can’t erase the fact that we were associated with these guys and that we, like many others, were proud about what we thought were honest performances at the time. Especially at a moment like this, we feel that it’s important to be honest.
