| Don't tell me this is just a warm-up race! A Tour de France-like max effort from the GC contenders as Cadel Evans (center) attempts to gain seconds on the race leader who was completely spent at the line. Robert Gesink (right) finished second. Alberto Contador is in the rear watching the action. Upstart, Jakob Fuglsang of Team Saxo Bank (left) has really left his [Den]mark this week. | share this photo |
