Stage 16
Everybody is assuming that the ITT is going to decide this tour, but
tomorrow there is an amazingly tricky stage. I am sure there are people that still has some hope to win a stage (what about Bettini, Boogerd, Nardello), if a small group forms with this type of fast guys and someone of the top ten in it, Jan and/or Lance could find themselves losing many minutes. Someone unexpectedly could get out of the podium. Something like this happened to Rominger and Olano in 96. The two main ports (Soudet and Bagargui ) are very, very hard and then it will be rolling till then end (about 80 Km). |
