[Havetts]

The finish might be somewhat too hard for them if they have to sprint from the bunch .

 

[dlwssonic]

GO BMC!
There are quite a few strong riders such as albasini, elimger, zaugg and canc so it will be hard for them.

 

[roundabout]

There are 7 of them though.

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

Im wondering why quinziato didnt take part in the italian RR or TT.

 

[jens_attacks]

i strongly recommend to all of you to watch the french champs.the route is amazing good and it will be entertaining.last year,voeckler's attacking uphill like a rocket was one of the most impressive attacks of the year.this time,watch again for him and his collegue,kern plus gadret,he's already fresh after il giro.

Manuel is doing altitude training. I guess Manuel chose not to ride but Ivan did.

why Rabo is chasing?? They think that Bos can lose the sprint??
