My money is on Basso next year [:D] (maybe Rasmussen). Jan will be 2nd. And I hope I´ll see Zable again one more time. Shame on Team Telekom to leave him home. I hope he joins CSC now.
Hi Marc,
[didn't know you were into cycling]
Ulrich is always too late getting into shape - but at least he tried to attack Armstrong this year - scored some good points there.
Next year's race is going to be a lot better with more contenders - it'll be an open battle, but my money is on Basso too - with Armstrong gone, Ulrich will think it'll be a piece of cake and train to little.
Zabel is getting a bit too old for the sprints - my money is on Tom Boonen
Greetz,
Eddy Sterckx
Sure thing I am [:D], I did put a small TV next to my monitors to watch the whole stuff while working. I´m a big Tour fan and also watch some of the classics if they show them live on TV. this year the final of the Deutschland Tour will be (of course) in Bonn and on top of that on my birthday. So I´ll be there too. We plan to visit some of the stages of the Tour next year.
I activly mountainbike since years. I´ll buy a race bike too sooner or later. But first I need to get back in shape.
Actually Ulrich was not too late this year but had a lot of bad luck too. First the team car crash where he went through the back window of the team support car (he was REALLY lucky there) and then his crash at the Tour. But nontheless Armstrong was a tad too good this time again, although not os good as last time [;)]
Zabal / Boonen, yep one of them if Zabel rides again next year. He maybe too old, but he also has a whole lot of experience.
