Cadel on Rasmussen
http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,...-23218,00.html
----- "I first started racing against him in March of 1996 at the Sea Otter classic (mountain bike race) in California, and on that occasion I couldn't go near him," said the Australian. "For three years I raced against him in mountain bikes, and I always finished ahead of him. And then he won the mountain bike world championship title in 1999, in the elite category. And he rode away from everyone. Last year, Rasmussen's stage win at La Toussuire helped secure his second consecutive polka dot jersey for the race's best climber. But his winning performance also left 70 riders in the "grupetto", the bunch who ride at their own slow tempo at the back of the race, on the brink of missing the race's time limit. "It's strange, his progression. It's just observations I have. What can you say?" added Evans. "It's not even progression. He has one or two good days a year, and last year he nearly put 30 (70 sic) guys out of the time limit. And I heard he had been suffering in the grupetto himself in the Giro d'Italia. "It's strange." But Evans stopped short of saying he is glad the Tour has finally got rid of Rasmussen. "I really don't know the truth behind it all. Just because someone has a good performance you should never accuse them of cheating, because it could be the result of hard work and good training. But I see what I see." ----- |
