Conformation: Iban`s in form!

It`s been a highly pleasing day for all us Iban fans. Iban stayed, without any problems at all, with the leading group up the Colombière and finished safe and sound among the overall contenders in 17th place. It was such a relief to see that Iban was indeed in the form that people`s been saying lately, and this now doubt looks good for the remainder of the Tour. He looked calm, unaffected, composed, and all those words, and stayed at the front of the leading group all the way up, as well as down, the Colombière. Iban wisely didn`t attack today, as the break was too far away to be reached, but certainly looked capable of it. Tomorrow will no doubt produce more attacking and spectacular racing, as the stage ends atop the gruelling Monteé du Tignes. Expect Iban to be in the thick of it...
