> Doesn't this lock in DeLuca as #1?
Zuri and Paris-Tours have 40 30 25 20 15 11 7 5 3 1
Lombardia has 50 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 1
So winning all three would be worth a hypothetical 130 points, and
hypothetically, anyone in the top 20 could take over.
Facts:
Boonen's out for the season. Ullrich says Zurich will be his last race.
Armstrong will likely not make his comeback this year. Levi's website
doesn't show any more starts on his schedule.
Speculation:
Peta and Vino are tired. Rebellin's been here before and knows what it
takes and is within view but may not be motivated. Valverde is fresh and
has momentum but he'd have to pull off one hell of a triple with Di Luca
getting almost nothing.
Conclusion:
It's a "virtual" lock for Danilo
