“So yesterday, I was kinda off my game …”

I think if there is a lesson to be drawn from this, it’s that you always have carte blanche to pick on velonews.

it worked with Kirsipuu and Nazon at AG2R.

Brown, Bongiorno, and Grillo also have had much success with this tacitc.

If Petacchi is smart, he will try and give Zabel some wins, and share the top spot.

Interesting to see if Hushovd works for Renshaw at the Tour Down Under to give the young Australian a win or two so he wiil be committed in the equipe for the big Norsky come tour time.

Certainly the lineup of Dean, Renshaw, and Kirsipuu might be the strongest last 3 in the peloton. And Hushovd does not have the top end speed, he relies on strength, which would be perfect if his leadout train can string out the peloton.

In “Lance Armstrong’s War” they quoted Cunego as putting out HUGE power.

It appears that Cunego is planning presently to do the Giro which would pretty much put paid any serious attempts at the Tour de France but if the numbers quoted are real (as high or higher than Armstrong’s) then we can expect him to the the real future contender.

Unless Ivan Basso learns to TT and Valverde doesn’t improve from his present high output.
