The one-two Astana punch: Kazakhstan Rules!

Very happy to see two guys from an unlikely country, dominate a European event in Spain. Also happy to find a crumpled up $10 bill on the Cranston bike path this morning on the way to work... (I too, fisted the air) Rain forced me to drive home, which is why I keep a car at work and one at home... Nothing but rest for me until Saturday morning... May the sun god Apollo prevail. This rain is a real buzz-kill.
