    La Elefantina isn't quite washed up yet.

    His riding style now is a far cry from the Giro he got booted out of. Remember that? He crushed the
    competition, day after day. Got a flat tire on the last climb? No problem. Get a crappy wheel
    change, ride straightaway back up to the leaders, ride past them like they were Masters Fatties,
    beat them by a minute.

    eeeepoh. it's good for The Soul.

    Yes, but in some sense, that's the point. He may be doing this on only normal amounts of dope.

    Which makes him at best, an average rider - Maybe good enough to support a real contender though?
    I'm sure Jan would like his help in the mountains :-)

    What? You proclaim Marco when he came in 5 seconds down on Casagrande?

    Simoni and Garzelli are showing that they have been the real thing all along. Without the dope Marco
    won't be competitive against these monsters of the mountains.

    BTW, those Italian podium girls are real beauties. Sure beats the hell out of most of those
    French oinkers.

    When he was at the top of his game and maximally jacked up on dope he was pounding people like Henry
    describes. Now he's nowhere near the top of his game, he's been invisible for an extended period of
    time. And he's still one of the best riders on a brutally hard Giro stage. I'll bet he's as jacked
    up as he ever was.

    agreed...nice curves & full, lucious bombs. Are there any websites or photos of them like for the
    Formula 1 chicks?
