Schumach...I don't consider this a big surprise. Schumacher has won some very hard, very important races and has a kick. He's a true roleur, and this course was made for that - shorter than typical and a bit hilly. Further evidence, note the performance of Jens Voigt.<br><br>Certainly I wouldn't have picked him for the win but if I had to pick 15 riders he would make the list, once you are there on such a short course it could even come down to when you started.<br><br>If it had been 15 more kilometers it would have probably been Evans and riders like Kirchen, Millar, Schumacher and Voigt would fade down the standings. At that distance I might even tip Vande Velde.<br><br>But what do I know. The only time I got one right was with Landis, and only after I dosed his beer.murphstahoehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-91810625194244096322008-07-08T14:19:00.000-07:002008-07-08T14:19:00.000-07:00err...
