Backstedt says he never flatted. And he is a big guy.
Anyone know what tires they used, or is he just on the
lucky side? Are the neutral support bikes all equipped
with the same thing? I'm hoping to maybe start a clinchers
vs. tubulars skirmish here. -Darryl Mataya

Fat Vittoria tubs. Tafi was the only Alessio rider to
puncture all day, and he only did it once.

Speaking of P-R punctures, I love this Museeuw quote: "(...)
I heard 'sssssss'. I've ridden in the same hole before. I
know that hole." Priceless.

On a more sour note, how unstylish of PVP to point out that
Museeuw sollicited the finish line choreography. Mother's
day coming up Peter, and she'll want flowers!

"On the track Museeuw asked me to take his hand. That I did,
but I would have preferred to sprint for the victory. If
Johan and I hadn't punctured, we would have been sprinting
for the win."

I take this to mean that since they weren't sprinting for
the win, he was happy to shake Museeuw's hand ... But he
would have much rather been taking Museeuw on, sprinting for
victory (not for 5th place) than shaking his hand as they
crossed the line in minor placings.

Too much of what? I just thought it was unstylish - you
know, class.

On the other hand, french ex-pro Eric Boyer, now writing for
l'Equipe, has an interesting view on the luckless Museeuw-
PVP tandem chasing the leaders into the velodrome: he thinks
Museeuw didn't cooperate 100%, for fear of handing his arch-
rival the win.
lequipe.fr20040411 213519 01.htmlOpen ↗ That
would explain PVPs gruntiness, especially since he's not at
liberty to discuss it openly- that would amount to heresy,
with Museeuw's Grand Exit and all.

That was my take on it, too. Two old rivals/friends
crossing the line together in a postition that really
didn't mean much to either. But on the other hand,
Stewart does have a point. It could have simply been PVP
spinning his finish.
