As in the Killer Instinct. He does have the talent though. Adds up to a lot of second places.

As for runner up Jan Ullrich, Bettini observed diplomatically that "he's a great rider; really strong with so much power...he just needs to work on his timing."

What would be a good nickname for him? He seems to have overcome his Fat Problems, so the Sausage Creature is not really appropriate anymore. Eddy Merckx, The Cannibal, had the opposite mentality. Maybe Jan should be The Vegetarian.

Quoted message said: Depends on whether the first guy is relegated ala this year's TdF (Mcwhiner? and Baldato) I don't remember exactly who it was, just that it happened.
Too bad you can't always count on the winner being relegated!

He has even developed a one arm up-one arm down second place almost-victory salute, unveiled at the Zurich race. cyclingnews.com 4.jpg Open ↗
