Beloki plots comeback.

I predeict that Beloki will drift into anonymity. From what he has
said, it sounds like his crash was far too traumatic to recover 100%.
He still has nightmares? That's serious. At 30 something, he just
doesn't have time to spend getting his head back.

I Merckx, Sr. and Indurain show up and he beats them all, he'll arguably be
the virtual best rider ever.

This is another "I told you so" moment. Yes, I agree with you, but I
thought that when I saw his face on the replays of his crash. I wrote in
this newsgroup that it was a career ender. Being involved in a devastating
crash myself, I know the scars it leaves also in the mind. Nightmares,
flashbacks, etc. You are no longer in command. And what I got back was,
"people crash all the time, and it has no effect." How wrong they were.

Zabriskie was almost killed last Spring, and he's riding again. It seems
to depend on the individual.
