Default Why don't Bianchi and Telekom ride for their stars?

I heard an interview with the DS of Bianchi. He said that the sprint wasn't
planned this morning, but when Ullrich saw that Cooke wasn't involved, he
went for it. Caught Lance napping a bit. More of a head game than a real
influence on the outcome; IMO.

slipped away on other occasions, too?


Are you only following the TdF when Ullrich is successful? What you are
talking about is pure speculation. Ullrich couldn't win more, because he
wasn't following the group. Had he done so, there would have been no
breakaway, as USPS would have closed the gap *very* fast.



Not slipping away on a break - that's impossible, of course, except
maybe VERY close to the end of a stage (of course USPS would have to be
caught sleeping, but hey - nothing is impossible ), but slipping away
to gain a few sprint points and seconds.


Ciao,

True.

It happened in the 2000 Oly road race.

This is different. They only have to watch one guy.

In the Olys', the USA riders didn't even know there was a break up the road.
