[N8 v2.0]

Basso is 1'25" behind Armstrong in the overall GC...

Can he catch up in the TT or the last Stages....??? Or is it pretty much a done deal that Lance will take #6..???

Most likely Lance is a better TT rider than Basso... but I really wonder if we have seen the best from both of them yet.

Its an uphill TT to boot, lance will have it. I dont think the tour is over yet, but lance's grip is getting tighter by the day.

Wow, that was exciting reading. Thanks for the updates.

 

[Jeremy R]

Whoa!
Just for shats and giggles with the time trials looming ahead,
I checked out what Basso did in the Prologue.
Man, Lance put 29 seconds on him in 6km.
Basso might be able to hold his tomorrow in the climbing TT,
but he is gonna get owned in the long TT at the end no doubt.
All Lance really has to do is stay with Basso in the mountains
which he has easily done so far.

After being on these forums so long, you get pretty good at weeding through posts/threads.
