What’s with the East-German flag there? Spaniards, flags, not a good combination.

I wonder if they'll get the anthems right
by celerity on Sep 6, 2009 10:11 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sure it's the East-German?
I don’t see it clear enough, but it could be the Bundesdienstflagge.

Finish was flate. That was what I meant..
And what is Schlucht? I know Kloden get past Weening in the last 3 m of the last climb so Weening didn´t get the KOM jersey. He outsprinted him with 3mm so he couldn´t worry about the KOM jersey that much
