Too bad. Would have been great to have won the WC and then retire. He certainly deserves it (not saying he deserves to win the WC, as it's not ice dancing, but if he had won it, it certainly would have been a desirable point in time to leave the sport). --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

I always thought Zabel was one of the good guys of the sport. Next year the championships are in Germany. I know it's a long shot, but wouldn't it be something if he [Zabel] won there? Smokey |

Kinda makes you wonder how Zabel could spoil a chance like that though, Bettini certainly deserved to win after breaking loose twice, but Zabel should be able to beat him in a sprint, same goes for Valverde of course. The final 500 meters were stellar, with the thee champs going clear with the help of the Spanish racer (Sanchez), the cream of the cream !

Everybody underestimates Bettini as a sprinter. The guy has a tremendous acceleration. The only way you're going to beat him is by being a great sprinter yourself and timing it out perfectly so that he can't come around on you. The final 500 meters were stellar, with the thee champs going clear with the help of the Spanish racer (Sanchez), the cream of the cream ! Splendid.

True, wonder where that "punch"comes from though, the guy is so small 1.65m ! I'm not implying he's doping, I'm just wondering where he finds that boost ! The final 500 meters were stellar, with the thee champs going clear with the help of the Spanish racer (Sanchez), the cream of the cream ! Splendid. Can't remember the last time I saw that, WC 1981 maybe ? Just as splendid as a good climb in the Alps.
