mcgee?

Supposedly came into the prologue yesterday under the weather, and
just exerted himself too much .......... rumor is he is going to drop
out ........

He worked really hard in the Giro, and it just might have been too much,
too early.

I think they said he was ill the day before the prologue. Illness would
have to explain it because I do not think his hard efforts in the Giro and
training would crack him hours into an event he expected to last three
weeks.

He certainly received a lot of positive comments from the commentators
on RAI for his tenacity in the mountains. He always fought hard to
get back after being dropped.

I guess it is his back:

"My back is rough... I couldn't feel my legs today, I couldn't get any power
out of them. I hurt it last weekend and it's been on and off ever since,"
explained McGee post-stage.

He also said (on cyclingnews.com) that his form isn't quite there and
he's a bit light (which I take to mean underweight). Thinks he's lost
some flatout power in order to improve his climbing. His quote was
something on the order of, "Maybe I should qive up on this climbing
stuff and conscentrate on my pursuiting.. chuckle".

I seriously hope not. I very much enjoy watching McGee race. I don't think
these rumors are true. He'll probably get over what ever he has. Although,
if I were in his cycling shoes, I'd be more concerned with the Olympics than
the Tour.

By losing something like 6 minutes on a stage where most of the field
came in together?

He's putting himself in good position for stage wins.

latest news, he was seen by the tour doctor last night and this morning
and should be ok for today's stage

If you look at McGee's lower back in the stage today there is a bulge
which is possibly ice or a 'pommade' to help the pain from yesterday's
crash

I guess McGee should watch France 2 before he goes around giving quotes.
