Hold the Mayo

Iban Mayo has yet again abandoned the Tour de France on the first serious mountain stage. The Basque rider was once thought to be the one to beat Lance Armstrong. In 2003 he putthe hurt on Armstrong and won the stage to L’Alpe D’Huez. Ever since then, Mayo has not been anywhere near that form and has struggled when the roads went vertical. Is this the end of Iban Mayo as Tour contender?
He’s done! I don’t even want to hear his name next year. He may have put the hurt on in ‘03 but since then has been non-existent. Has he even finished the tour since ‘03?
