... I wonder what Mr Boonen could possibly mean. Gewiss,
what a team, with such stalwarts as Riis, Berzin, Furlan and
co; what a party this bunch had and what a legacy their
winning tactics has had in the world of competitive cycling.
----------0----------- Boonen compares CSC to Gewiss
Quick.Step-Davitamon's Tom Boonen, who yesterday missed what
was likely his last chance to win a stage in this year's Paris-
Nice, compared the CSC team to the Gewiss-Ballan squad of 10
years ago, which dominated some races in a similar fashion.
"I only saw Gewiss-Ballan in action once," he told Het
Nieuwsblad. "CSC reminds me of them. CSC has made this Paris-
Nice their top goal. They are the best team, we the second
best. On the hardest climb I followed Frigo's wheel without
difficulty, that is the positive news of the day."
