However, he usually lost from 2 to 4 minutes to Jan in ITT's but anyway this year's "improvment" was a bit too brutal.
Also, the case with Heras- in his last ITT of Vuelta 2004 he shared the time of the best rider- it looks like a science fiction... There is some riders that should never match the best in mountains or ITT's and Basso should never do such a good ITT as in Giro 2006. He is a cheater and brutal doper. |

Don't you realise that DSC are the only team that train? That they are the only team that use technology to assist them? That they are the only team that go and ride the important Tour stages before the Tour? How can you not believe in the DSC fairytales? |

EPO aids recovery, so that you can train harder and longer.... Hell I could do with more longer and harder sessions, but if I don't get the recovery I don't get anywhere. |

That would give Bob Roll lots of silly cover stories to gab about. Basso recently stated he has nothing to prove (re: Brillo blood bags). I agree, we already know that he is a Discovery-Nike drug cheat and liar. We all know way too much about his Gynocology visits, blood banking and 2006 Giro freak show. Free Tyler! Free Floyd! Live Wrong! |
