topsy turvy friday

It's always great to see the Discovery jersey in a victory salute, today Petacchi flatted and it sounded like Zabel was a shoe-in but Max did the deal and won for Team Disco.
Team Rookie, who had the stage winner, finished second to Vuelta Skelta who won with a superb showing of squad depth. Both Pablo Neruda's Nudists and A Spain in My Ass lost ground today as their riders were penalized. No word yet on why they received -5 sprint points, but hey, i just post this stuff i don't officiate. That didn't help A Spain in My Ass's grasp on the GC lead, so a reshuffling was in order and Team Rookie bumped the Fruita Freewheeler powerhouse for top honors.

In other news, you can all thank Taylor for the team substitute suggestion as yesterday's withdrawals saw a lot of team turnover.
Ljungqvist in for Landis on OLE!
Ongarato in for Cadamuro on Vuelta Skelta
Finot in for Auger on Pablo Neruda's Nudists
Coyot in for Bonomi on A Spain in My Ass
Boven out for Team Rookie, Quesada already sub'd in.
