Ullrich will put 2 minutes into Basso in the TT's.
Basso will put 2 minutes into Ullrich in the mountains.
I think Ballrich will win.

Jan will have it, but only just, as the Giro will ultimately show in Ivan's legs. More than happy for Ivan to bag a few tours after Jan retires as Basso is such a good rider.
One thing for sure, it will an interesting and unpredictable race now that the arrogant Texan and his one-trick, one-race per year roadshow has disappeared. Discovery will do nothing this year. The Tour in the Armstrong era became boring and predictable - even though Lance was impressive -but when Big George wins an HC climb stage! That's like Rasmussen winning Paris Roubaix! |

My mate at works fancies his chances cos he eats 2 pies and a cake every lunch time and enjoys the odd happy *CENSORED* on a night out and he reckons no one who wears a cravate (Basso) can be considered a real bloke. So he just needs a berth in a Tour team and he's the man. Not sure when he last road a bike mind you but sure he'll be fine once he has sussed out what to do.

I'm going for Basso. I think that he wants it more than Jan and I rate Riis as a manager.
I can remember hearing that Jan didn't turn up when Telecom booked time in a windtunnel as he said the TT was not won by a few seconds. That is true, but I couldn't help thinking that he also let other things go because they were just a few seconds.
Mind you I can't wait for the start. |
Whenever I hear this all I can think of is Mr 60%... |
