Firstly he's one of a very rare breed of commentators who is prepared to give forthright opinions on riders, teams and tactics irrespective of nationality. A refreshing change this season.
Secondly his comments on Rebellin were about his age + the likelihood of a performance of that quality this year. He talked very positively of him as a rider and as a professional passing on his experience to the younger riders. It was just a question of whether DR could still do it at 37.
The fact that DR won in such great and unexpected style should be applauded not used as the basis to attack Smith for some very logical comments.
it's a hard life if you don't weaken.
Just goes to show you can't ever rule a rider out, especially one who races so intelligently all the time, tactically Rebellin is very clever. I think he tapped his head as he crossed the line as if to say "I used my brain". You mean Gianni Friebe
I was fortunate to talk with Rebellin when the CTT was being put together. He was very passionate about helping others more than himself and thought he may not be able be the same force in races like this. I thought he was trying to help Scarponi but the old dog still has it. There aren't many guys at his age doing this. Total respect for him. I thought the young generation were coming through but looks like a few of the older guys still want to hang around.
Thanks for the comments
Valverde
No disrespect Brian, but what I really want to know is who Sean thinks will win...
none taken...you will need to email europsort when the race is on to ask Sean.
Hmm, does that leave me enough time to get down the bookies?
luckily the local Coral hadnt heard of the race! i did pop valverde on PTP on this site. I guess lightening doesnt strike twice :?
piy ES not covering Romandie.........
Who is not going to win! Valverde. He will struggle to win anything at the moment.
Covering Romandie with ctv. Don't know if it is accessible in the UK.

+1 for that.
As someone who is getting back into cycling after a long absence. I've really enjoyed all of the coverage on Eurosport this year.
