Gadret finished 100th, in the autobus, 41.49 behind Rasmussen on stage 16. It's interesting to me how many riders who seem to rock the Giro or the Vuelta somehow come up short in the Tour. Maybe it truly is just such an extraordinary pressure cooker which takes some time to adjust to unless you're one of the truly gifted. And if Gadret snarled a bit more on that cover shot, I'd swear he could pass for Flea. Does Velo generate an equivalent to the Sports Illustrated “cover curse”?
