Bruyneel can't get out of saying "We could not have won without him."

Yep, and that illness could have been exacerbated because he was working so hard for AC the day before. So not only was he ill, but he was willing to push himself as much as practicable to help AC and became more ill due to that effort.

Don't confuse him .......................... facts only get in the way of a good yarn.

Makes sense, Contador needed him today (before hindsight) and the shock of him pulling out would have been an added stress. And he was one of the strongest yesterday, so how could he have such an obvious jour sans.
there is a reality that he was sick.

Many PR stuff to do. In the coming two months it will be even more... (there is this bike race in France, forgot the name... eh ).

Anyway the rumour mill is pretty quiete at the moment and thats good as it has become inreasingly dangerous. Some people are using the rumour mill to hurt each other and I don't mean people from the forum.

If you know Klöden a little bit you can actually see it on some of the pics in the days before he abandoned, he looks pretty miserable (and not just from riding in the Dolomites).

Welcome back, thanks for putting an end to the rumour. Just a quick q do you know if Kloedi will be fit for Tour de Suisse? I know it was his main objective at the beginning of the year it will be a shame if the Giro has put an end to his chances.

The tour contenders will be able to judge their form on the mountain TT v's an in form Kloedi.

Yes he will be fit for Suisse, he was ill, not half dead. But how good he will be remains to be seen.

Yep, but the Mountain TT should suit him, especially as it is nowhere as steep as the Krohnplatz!
