Day 1 of Lanterne Rouge
Never too early. But I feel there are some pretenders among some real talent here. Remember, it's easy to get out there and get it over quickly. But staying on the course for the maximum time AND finishing... That's dedication! (Hunch Cooke and Merckx are just fooling with my mind) 183 Baden Cooke (Aus) Fran=E7aise Des Jeux 3=2E36 184 Karsten Kroon (Ned) Rabobank 185 Axel Merckx (Bel) Davitamon-Lotto 3.37 186 S=E9bastien Hinault (Fra) Credit Agricole 187 Alessandro Vanotti (Ita) Domina Vacanze 3.44 188 Rafael Nuritdinov (Uzb) Domina Vacanze 3.50 189 Leonardo Piepoli (Ita) Saunier Duval-Prodir 4.40 |

I don't think he has the consistency to be a real contender. Sure he'll probably end up pretty far back, but in the meanwhile he'll go and finish some stages hastily and move up in the rankings.

Ron Mayo's performance was completely unexcusable. He not only lost more than 3 mins. He was the worst performer among the lackluster EE team performances. Not exactly what you expect from a team leader (unless you are Marco Pantani, that he is not). |
