Andreas Kloden

[Scott Morrison]

I wonder how Klodie will do in this Tour? At the Sydney Olympics he
proved he can ride a great TT (Silver Medal I believe), he can also
climb and has finished on the podium. I think he has not been given
enough credit as a GC contender.

How has he been doing in the lead-up to the Tour?

Thanks,
Scott

He wasn't worth much at the Suisse Tour. He was getting dropped in the
mountains when Kirchen, Gerdemann, and Guerini were still there working
for Ullrich.

Of course a transfusion or two can do wonders for a rider's form.

Klöden got bronze in the road race but no medal in the time trial.

He would have if the radios had been working.

As stated many days ago, I like Kloden's chances as much as anyone. My
pick, once Basso and Ulrich were out, to win.
