Basso all 3??
Hi all, Am only an armchair fan of pro cycling but I love watchin the
big tours on tv. Cant wait for the start of this years tour de France now that the Boss has retired.Would love to see Ulrich win it this year but I think Basso looks to strong. Anyone else think that Basso is going for the big 3 this year? Wasn't it Stephen Roche who was the last to win the Giro, Tour De France and the world road race in the same season. Nice to see him try, and good luck to him if he does. |

But if CSC puts in a big effort for the Giro they aren't going to go into the Tour in peak form. Remember, Basso is very good, but he's got some very good team mates. Sastre, Cuesta and Voigt particularly have put in a huge effort to get Basso to the Maglio Rosa, and that has to have cost them. Winning a tour is not a solo effort; it's a team game. CSC have a lot of other good riders, of course, and Bjarne is a master tactician, but Ullrich is looking very strong - his performance in the individual time trial demonstrates that clearly - and he's going about preparing for the Tour in exactly the right way, by treating the Giro as essentially a training ride. The Italians don't like that, of course, and whose to blame them? But the fact is that Ullrich will go into the Tour in peak form and hungry, and Basso won't. And, although I'd personally like to see Basso take both the pink jersey and the yellow, I do think Ullrich deserves the Tour. He's worked so hard for it, for so long. -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ Q: Whats a webmaster? A: Like a spider, but nowhere near as intelligent. |
