So much for his season. May he bounce back soon.

I had no idea that diseases had nationalities. I do know that
Giardia is quite well know in Durango Colorado, TD's current home town
when he's in the states. A number of years ago the drinking water
supply of the local ski area became contaminated. And NOBODY knew
that the little critters had migrated all the way from Spain!

And those bad days came when he was hosting Giardia.

Now he won't be able to lead Devolder up the mountains. It's a big
blow to Discovery but they still have a great chance for a podium
finish.

Hopefully he will find his role riding for Slipstream next year. I was
encouraged when I read that JV said that thinking of him as a potential
Grand Tour winner didn't seem possible and that TD was probably hurt by the
"Next LA" tag given to him when he joined Tailwind.

Isn't that what they said about Lance? First he was going to be the NEXT
LEMOND and then he was just a big sprinter-type and look what happened.
The fact is that Danielson has what it takes to become a grand tour winner
regardless of what others have to say. He has a bad day on each grand tour
and without that he'd look a great deal better.

Isn't "not having bad days" pretty much requirement 1 to be a GT
winner?

Yah, I never thought he had what it took to get to the podium of a GT. I think he
could do top ten again (he already has a sixth and eighth in the Vuelta) or possibly
five if things went right but that last little bit of whatever it takes to get to the
top just doesn't seem to be there. He seems like a great guy and is certainly fast
but GT contender just doesn't seem to be in the cards. It's too bad he's out so soon
in this Vuelta, though.
