Wow! My team was always going to climb [groan] the board once we hit the mountains but I didn't expect to climb that high! When Wiggo crashed out, Garate left on nul points and I was hanging around the bottom of the table, I would have happily traded my stock of EPO for a lesser finish than that. Cav, Wiggo and Andy Schleck were my main contenders with EBH and Tommy V serving as my surprise weapons. TV was certainly a surprise but he was one that was deployed to devastating effect, while I've always had this good feeling about EBH.
It is, however, a bit strange to win with neither of my GC hopes climbing the top of the podium.
