Alessio's tires?
Backstedt says he never flatted. And he is a big guy. Anyone know what
tires they used, or is he just on the lucky side? Are the neutral support bikes all equipped with the same thing? I'm hoping to maybe start a clinchers vs. tubulars skirmish here. -Darryl Mataya |

Re: Alessio's tires?
Speaking of P-R punctures, I love this Museeuw quote:
"(...) I heard 'sssssss'. I've ridden in the same hole before. I know that hole." Priceless. On a more sour note, how unstylish of PVP to point out that Museeuw sollicited the finish line choreography. Mother's day coming up Peter, and she'll want flowers!

"On the track Museeuw asked me to take his hand. That I did, but I would have preferred to sprint for the victory. If Johan and I hadn't punctured, we would have been sprinting for the win." I take this to mean that since they weren't sprinting for the win, he was happy to shake Museeuw's hand ... But he would have much rather been taking Museeuw on, sprinting for victory (not for 5th place) than shaking his hand as they crossed the line in minor placings. -- Steven L.

Too much of what? I just thought it was unstylish - you know, class. On the other hand, french ex-pro Eric Boyer, now writing for l'Equipe, has an interesting view on the luckless Museeuw-PVP tandem chasing the leaders into the velodrome: he thinks Museeuw didn't cooperate 100%, for fear of handing his arch-rival the win. http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme/20040411_213519_01.html That would explain PVPs gruntiness, especially since he's not at liberty to discuss it openly- that would amount to heresy, with Museeuw's Grand Exit and all.

Two old rivals/friends crossing the line together in a postition that really didn't mean much to either. But on the other hand, Stewart does have a point. It could have simply been PVP spinning his finish. -- tanx, Howard Q: Can we call it a quagmire yet? remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |
