Splendid story on out AMETS! I'm forever grateful I got to snap a quick pic and conversion with him before the start of stage 1 at this year's Euskal Herriko Itzulia!

When he crashed in TDF last year I decided to write him a mail, Unfortunately he never answered:-) TDF 2007 was amazing with Amets but also Verdugo and Ruben Perez showing their talents for the first time. I think all his injuries and crashes are the main reason he don't reach the 2007 level anymore. I also remember his second place in 2009,Haussler was not human that day, Amets was a brilliant second one. Sadly he crashed some days later, 2009/2010/2011 three years he had to leave the TDF as cause of a crash. No one deserves that. I hope one day we'll see a big win for Amets. Wednesday I was disappointed in his seventh place, in good shape he would have been within the three best in that lead group. As I said before, the whole Euskaltel team has not his normal level in this Vuelta. It was a mistake letting Cazaux and Isasi start while Landa and Castro (again) had to stay at home.Kristofnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-58219456272552985642011-09-02T10:27:03.580+02:002011-09-02T10:27:03.580+02:00Well said.

The GC is not the goal, so why not spare your power?kKDunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35441987.post-72155860673790372032011-09-02T09:05:10.164+02:002011-09-02T09:05:10.164+02:00Brilliant Magnus, simply brilliant!
