Absolutely. We are back to gaps a la glorious cycling days (Coppi et al). I am betting for him for the double!Eldrack said:Well, Basso has dominated completely. Gutierrez is 9:18 behind, Simoni at 12:00, Cunego at 18:16 and Savoldelli at 19:22. Those gaps are HUGE! He's climbed better than the pure climbers, and timetrialled up with the best TTers. Who wants to bet against him for the double?
If you are asking me I don't mind. I know that cyclists are often inspired by incidents in their personal lives and do something out of the ordinary. I think (not sure about that) that Bruyneel rode the fastest ever Tour stage the day after his father had passed away. If Basso felt like celebrating the birth of his son that way I am not the one to disagree...Virenque said:Basso showed a picture of his son when he crossed the line. What`s your opinion about that? I don`t like it. I think that doesn`t suit sports. Family matters and job don`t go together. His son has nothing to do with it. I never liked all these children on TdF podium. What`s the point?
I disagree for the simple reason that these guys sacrifice a lot of family time to do what they do. To say thanks and show respect and love for their family is great if you ask me.Virenque said:Basso showed a picture of his son when he crossed the line. What`s your opinion about that?

It looks like kindergarten. What`s the point? Self-promotion? Competition who has more and the most beautiful child/children?
