A year ago he was all alone on the legendary Alpe d'Huez, earning the yellow jersey of the Tour which will be his last on Mount Petra - in stage "queen" of this tour, under a scorching heat - Flies like a heron by placing the paw decisive, pulling everyone. The acute Carlos Sastre it was expected and is not missed. From a champion of its scope is to be expected this and more.
I bet on him when the quotation at the beginning, was 17.0. Today marks 5.0. Of course the uphill battle for
not appear so irresistible targets like the blockhouse, Benevento and the Vesuvio, with all due respect, are certainly not comparable to the stages or "Tappone" decisive Alpini Dolomites or expect from a Giro d'talia worthy of the name. The Stelvio Pass is something else.
On this point I would draw a veil of compassion, especially to the organizers. This was the Tour Centennial, not any.
addition to a twisted path that has always seen the Tour start in the south and ends at the North (from the first round of the 1909 Roma-Napoli fourth stage was won by Carlo Galetti), this year they thought of Lor Signori distort the historicity of the Giro and the result is having to see the riders racing up steps the Apennines, plus ill suited to praise the deeds of the athletes.
Before anything else was to restore dignity to a historical event. You had to have respect for the place and tradition, but that is not the case. For me it was like to slap the history of this great sport.
The "vile money" be expected, there would be other opportunities to make similar experiments.
But in addition to a reverse path, Angelo Zomegnan's intention would amaze the sports with the shot-effect "Armstrong". Popular and stra-paid, the answer was obvious and recessed specialmodo by the organizers.
some dignity or credibility are big words in a sport tainted by doping, with runners that - paradoxically - for "security", in Milan, they refuse to run!
once the most popular sport is now very unpopular. And with good reason.
Pornography rule.
