only question really ios does Rebellin place high enough over Bettini to
pick up a set of rainbows.... (ok so it's not realy a rainbow but you
get hte point.)
see, this is how an artefact like the World Cup devaluates the finest races on
earth. Calculation and points racing don't fit the spirit of classics
Dumbass -
You are correct.
Bettini and Rebellin's battle opens the race up quite a bit for
everyone else.
This seems to be a frequent occurence in Lombardia. I remember one
year (was it Bartoli?), the leader of the WC driving his 4 man break
along, doing all the work, so he could win the WC (the other WC
contenders were not in the break). Naturally, he had no chance in the
sprint and obviously he would not have ridden in that fashion if there
were no WC.
Just an anecdote to support Bart's point.
