Carlos felt really strong at the foot of the decisive climb, so we put Calvente and Piil up front to set the pace.

However, it's better than sitting there watching this tiny mosquito grow larger on your arm. I don't know that he gains much by pulling out now. But he definitely stops hemorrhaging of public opinion against this.
