Vladimir Karpets came in 10th in the time trial today! He's young yet and still has time to mature and come into form. I think he's a great choice for favorite rider. Though, it turns out that under the hats he usually wears for pictures he's got a head full of luxurious hair and no mullet. I still like him anyway. Geez, teasing me when I'm not even in Utah to defend myself. Good thing I checked my e-mail. JEN
