Basso's Change of Approach

[Ryo Hazuki]

ok who are you and what have you done with ivan basso?

seriously, basso up on his bike, basso attacking, basso sprinting

it can't be the same man who won't the giro without getting up on his bike

duarte is a very good sprinter for a climber, did you even see the sprint basso won?? was weirdest thign I ever saw.

duarte's true weakness is his inconsistancy. that's why I wouldn't rate him very high for a gc placing yet unless he has improved it but we will have to see.
