Re:
EDIT: He also stated that he will be at the start in Teplice XCO (CZE) next weekend despite the crash in Graz. There should also start all top 3 UCI XCO Slovak riders (Lami M., Lami. F., Haring M.) - will be interesting comparison
agreedsaganftw said:you cant keep top form from milan-san remo to LBL and then be ready for tour in time - sacrifices would have to be made,either starting later and practicaly stop caring about milan san remo (which i wouldnt mind since MSR is a wank race anyway) or being in solid form for two months hoping for a good result and then burnout for tour
i could see something like ronde to LBL with no california to tour,or maybe even MSR to Amstel for a start - no doubt with they way the ardennes are being ridden lately he would have a solid chance in all of them except Fleche Wallone
the obstacles are more with sponsors than actual willingness to ride ardennes,he cant ditch tour of california and tour,he is just too big of a box office for bike manufacturers to be absent there
