Dauphine Libere

Ctrdy01 · 2003-06-02T01:30:54+00:00

Well it's off to France (tomorrow) for me for a couple of weeks to catch the Dauphine Libere (yeah; I know the race is only 1 week, but I'm not flying across the pond for 1 week!) Wondering if anyone had a podium in mind? Also wondering why this race doesn't get more attention. 55th edition, and the line up is rather attractive; Armstrong (defending his title), Ekimov (defending Armstrong), Mancebo, Virenque, Moreau (trying to stay vertical.... side note; wouldn't he be right up there if he could!?!), Boogerd, Mayo, Hamilton just to name a few, and... oh! yes of course ; Patrice Halgand of "you now what team". Funny the World champ isn't invited there either... should we start another controversy; no wait... it's the Alps... he can't do the hills... oh well! Seriously though, why doesn't the Dauphine Libere get more attention? The line up is always nice; great time to see who's hot for that "other event" in July as they go over similar stages. Just wondering... I'll enjoy it - always have... Is OLN showing the race? Well... better get packing, See ya soon! - Chris - http://www.customgetaways.com Sport Vacations (Multisport, Cycling, Marathons, etc...)

It gets the attention any important training race should. Nowadays you get everyone testing form
for the Tour.
