What's the dynamic going to be between Boonen and Bettini? Does Bettini
drop him up the Poggio or drag him?
Bettini attacks on the Poggio and Boonen looks at Zabel to say,
if you want Petacchi to have a chance, you chase him?[/QUOTE]

"I'm going to start the race on Saturday and then worry about getting to San Remo," he added on Tuesday.
"My back and my knee still hurts when I stand on the pedals but I'm optimistic things will improve," he said.
On Sunday, Bettini rode for half-an-hour but was in so much pain he had to call his wife and ask her to pick him up.
If they were both healthy they could attack together on the Poggio with anyone else on that wants to go. Other people in the break would have no chance in a sprint, but they couldn't sit up either because Boonen and Bettini could win together. Of course it helps when you have the two stronget riders at the moment.
