But in the only Giro I had been paying attention to his relative performance (the one in which Simoni won and Olano and Osa were in the podium) I arrived to the conclusion that Olano and also Gontchar were faster descenders on all the major ports of the last few days. Maybe Salvodelli is now fully motivated (being a clear podium candidate) and he is ready to extreme the risks he can take. I think that things are looking not so bad for Simoni. I expect Cunego to recover a lot of the time he lost today. But for him winning may not an option this time (but not impossible). I expect Di Luca to blow up in the last week and Basso and Salvodelly to lose time relative to Gibo and Cunego. Candy Ass... "Howard Kveck" wrote in message ...

Savoldelli was faster on the descent from km18 to km28.6 than all but Cioni. Is there a new Falcon in the gruppo? Savoldelli came to the attention of many several years ago with his skillful descending. It seems to be a matter of a healthy Falcon this time (as well, perhaps, as one *not* employed by T-Mobile...). His descending the year he won the Giro was a thing of beauty. -- tanx, Howard Butter is love. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? The amazing thing is that we see this pretty much the same way. I don't think Cunego was as bad as he showed today. I'm still thinking he was working for Simoni until we see otherwise. Bill C |

Maybe Salvodelli is now fully motivated (being a clear podium candidate) and he is ready to extreme the risks he can take. You're right - Olano was a very good descender, too. I don't recall Gonchar's (however it's spelled!) descending quite as vividly as PS and Olano. The day Savoldelli took the Giro ('02) in hand was great simply because the cameras were there with him as he dropped. I thought it was spectacular, and that one really stands out in my mind. I think that things are looking not so bad for Simoni. I expect Cunego to recover a lot of the time he lost today. But for him winning may not an option this time (but not impossible). I expect Di Luca to blow up in the last week and Basso and Salvodelly to lose time relative to Gibo and Cunego. Candy Ass... I think Cunego will recover positions in GC (partly through attrition), but have a hard time gaining back much time. As I mentioned earlier (some other thread), I don't have really high hopes for DiLuca in the overall. He just hasn't got a very good track record in GTs. I don't think he'll blow up so much as slowly tail off as the days go by. I think he's got a top ten in him. Maybe even a top five. I agree that Simoni is going quite well, but I think Basso looks very strong right now. He's a smart rider, with a smart DS and a good team behind him. He'll be tough to beat, I think. -- tanx, Howard Butter is love. remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

I have to think "Save our Deli" every time I spell his name now, to make sure I get the letters in the right order. However you spell his name, he's a fantastic rider who has more grace and elegance than the rest of the top-10 on GC put together. -Sonarrat. |

Thought it was 'grace and dignity', but I may be thinking of the wrong movie. In any event, don't need any of it to place on the podium, which may be a good thing for the rest of the racers. And us, too, as just tracking the panache factor is problem enough. Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels... |
