It's funny that no one comes in for the follow through on this one. Here's a rider that is a very new sensation, and I don't even see him mentioned above. That just goes to show you, talent can develop very quickly.
From 5/31/2004 article http://www.tdfblog.com/giro_ditalia/ Italy's newest cycling hero had his coming-out party in Milan on Sunday, as Damiano Cunego finished off his biggest victory, in the 2004 Giro d'Italia. Cunego becomes the races youngest winner since Giuseppe Saronni in 1979. |

And none of us even looked at what Cunego did in the runup to the Giro. And we all ignored him. Will our expectations for the Tour also prove wrong?

I know that I went for JU earlier in the year. I do not think that LA or JU will win this years TDF. Someone will pop out of the pack this year. |

I wonder if someone has been quietly hiding his great emerging talents by compromising his riding throughout the year in order to peak for the tour and seize yellow before anyone realizes he is a threat. This ought to be interesting. |

Mayo Deluged by the Press
Mayo's success on Dauphiné Libéré is not going unpunished. I am afraid he won't be up for a win in the TdF this year because he is not used to this kind of hounding publicity he is now receiving. It will be good experience for him next year, however. So I am predicting that Mayo will not be the dark horse this year.

While I do not know what will happen due to publicity, I do wonder if Mayo can keep his stellar form from now through the last week of the tour. Given that everyone knows he is riding well and will be keeping a close eye on him...
