In Trentino, he is worse than in the Vuelta last year, but maybe that's good. You are supposed to be top in May, not here. 
He just returned from high altitude training... which usually results in a few good days, then a few really bad days, and gradually building up towards top form.Publicus said:Video of the final climb is up at steephill tv. One thing is very clear: Basso ain't the same. There is nothing fluid about his climbing. Nothing.

Son of Sella, IMO.
always interesting, but of course you need to factor in the stage profile (and avg speed) leading up to those two finales.python said:for those who enjoy speculating...
trust me i did. but as i said above, not many around here are going to be swayed one way or the other by more data. so i dont feel like wasting anyone's time including my own.delgado said:always interesting, but of course you need to factor in the stage profile (and avg speed) leading up to those two finales.

As for the rest of the debate; given the figures and the way Ricco was really hurting, (haven't seen him look that stressed before) before getting dumped, are we accepting he's now racing clean?
