another DNF for David Millar- I've heard about using racing
for training but is he well advised to base his season
around the Tdf prologue and the WC ITT?

Only 12 teams showed up for a 1.1 race, and only 12 teams
for the Dauphine? WTF?

It seems that Oscar Sevilla has made his come back. Long
time no see. Will he ride the TDF or the Vuelta this year?

Note the reason why Rinero DNF'd.

Maybe both, but there's no telling until they announce their
lineup. Oscar could certainly fulfill the role that Heras
filled for Lance in the past couple of years.

Geez, no wonder nobody wants to do the race anymore. Even
today's training ride did a more professional job of
promptly retrieving riders who go over the edge on West
Alpine Road.

They've been repaving that road for a while. Is it still
missing pavement? Last time I was up it, there were a few
fairly long sections of dirt, but a thin covering over a
hard base. You know, just the thing to encourage slides.
A couple of them were in some of the steeper sections.
It's a fun climb, too.

You mean the guy who can only look good on the end of one
stage after he was babied all day?

I think he needed a change of scene (that and he had some
problem with a boil last year) and clearly Phonak is working
well for him. Rather than pointlessly argue, why not just
follow his progress in the Dauphine all week, that should
speak volumes.

Or maybe I should say, the role that he -should- have
filled. If you remember how easily and unselfishly Sevilla
began working for Valverde at the Vuelta last year, perhaps
you can then appreciate what I meant by that comment.

No, I know what you mean. I like Oscar Sevilla and most of
the other Spanish riders as well. I particularly like Pena
and Beltran. I see that the French are slowly coming back
into the game so I hope they're recovering from all of their
years of bad luck. I don't see another Hinault but then they
do pop up unexpectedly.

Valverde and Cunego are a couple of riders about which there
will be plenty of talk and action but I think that they are
in the wrong time for them and expect someone better to
smother them about the time that Armstrong is done.

Victor Hugo Pena isn't Spanish.
