Spare Us The Cutter: Ten Things I Learned In The Desert

1. The UCI Pro teams should be embarrassed that they got out-podiumed by two Continental teams.

2. Tom Boonen is looking fit and non-cokey.

3. Heinrich Haussler will win one of the Spring Classics.

4. Alessandro Ballan might not be as washed up as I thought he was.

5. Francesco Chicchi is another reason why Liquigas is one of the top five teams in the world.

6. Tyler Farrar needs to step it up.

7. Bradley Wiggins finished 114th..."Here's your check, thanks for coming."

8. Filippo Pozzato "wheelsucked" Fabian Cancellara in the overall standings.

9. Axel Merckx is the coolest name in cycling.

10. Taylor Phinney has the skills to turn Pro next year and win a TDF stage within three.

I'm down with "T-Far" but he's going to have to learn how to win McEwen and Petacchi style. Garmin has proven that they have a sub par leadout, and with their focus on GC in stage races, I don't see it getting better.
