He's an all round rider and it's great to see him prove it with a nice result such as this. It takes a lot to achieve a podium spot in the Vuelta, and I think he's been one of the prominent riders in this race - just as we as a team have been up front in nearly all stages. We took a brilliant stage victory, and with a little luck we could've taken a couple more. On the whole I'm very satisfied with the efforts delivered by everyone. Our aim was to get a good result overall and try for a stage win along the way, and we've achieved both. The team has worked perfectly and everyone down here in and around the team deserve big credit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intend some fear; Be not you spoke with but by mighty suit;  And look you get a prayer book ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intend some fear; Be not you spoke with but by mighty suit;  And look you get a prayer book in your hand   And stand between two churchmen, good my lord,    For on that ground I'll make a holy descant;     And be not easily won to our requests.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59216]]></link><description><![CDATA[No brain is stronger than its weakest think.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45506]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. -Harry S Truman.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back When gold and silver becks me to come on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58904]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bell, book and candle shall not drive me back When gold and silver becks me to come on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time is Too Slow for those who Wait,  Too Swift for those who Fear,   Too Long for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58323]]></link><description><![CDATA[Time is Too Slow for those who Wait,  Too Swift for those who Fear,   Too Long for those who Grieve,    Too Short for those who Rejoice;     But for those who Love,      Time is not.   - Henry Jackson van Dyke,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eve in the garden gives Adam a hard onAnd no one will pardon the snakeLook who invents him and later ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26059]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eve in the garden gives Adam a hard onAnd no one will pardon the snakeLook who invents him and later torments himThen makes us repent our mistakes]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66059]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66059</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48348]]></link><description><![CDATA[The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
