Boys it's Basso all the way. Think there is any possible way CSC will let *and* odd food or drink come near their boy this week? Shake hands? No I don't think so. Our boy's in a coccoon. He's untouchable. Sing it, MC.

He's also untouchable on the bike right now. Everyone else along for this little ride in Italy is another minute and a half back tonight courtesy of Mr. Basso and the CSC boys and their uphill tempo tactics.

Watch out France, Basso's gonna put you in a world of hurt if he can possibly retain this level of conditioning.

Bets on that? Tough call. Jan's the one to watch. Or maybe Vino. Vino's taking a page out of Lance's book, training exclusively for Le Tour and not giving the world much to see of him before the July coming out party. Jan's obviously on a tear. Ivan's going to have a tough time of it keeping the edge he obviously has now through the end of July.

Let's hope it doesn't all get spoilt by something lame like a freak accident that takes one of them out.
