Ok, so he came in 2nd to Alberto Loddo of Tinkoff. Not really a big deal since he's just laying the groundwork for March and April and getting his train together for July.
Chris Sutton of Slipstream took 6th and vaulted back into the Best Young Rider's jersey. He's having a really nice race, and outside of an outright victory Slipstream is doing just what they need to do - prove to the big boys (ASO) that they can race with the heavy weights.
