I found Cobo's ride fairly depressing. Do any of the dopers really think that anyone still believes in a rider's integrity if they put in a ride like Armstrong or Pantani? It's all so obvious--the metronomic rhythm, the apparent lack of exhaustion at the end, the massive difference to other riders, the total lack of any feeling that the winner was racing anyone up the climb, being in a world of his own--the Angliru stage could have been such a good stage, and it's a shame that there had to be someone like that again. Just like Contador in 2008:
