Saturday on RAITRE there was the presentation of the 2004 cycling season, that in Italy started yesterday with the GP Costa degli Etruschi.
Most the top local pro were interviewed. Bettini, Simoni and Pozzato were in the TV studio while the contributions of Petacchi, Garzelli, Cipollini and Bartoli were filmed beforehand. Among a lot of circumstance, diplomatic talks, there were a few interesting words from Michele, who talked about his early season goals. He will be aiming more for a success at M-SR and 8 years after double at de Ronde than at the Ardennes races. But the most exciting part of what he said is that he will be a 33 years old debutante at P-R and he will ride it to do something good.
