More on the fried Chicken from todays Guardian, " Among those speaking about the Dane was the Australian Cadel Evans, who lies second overall, 1min 53sec behind the new race leader, Alberto Contador. Evans, like Rasmussen a former world-class mountain biker, recalled the Dane's form from their days racing on fat-tyred bikes with suspension forks.
"I was in front of him for three years. But in 1999, when he won the world championship, he left everyone behind. He just went when he felt like it. I found his progression bizarre but what can you say? His progress after that was erratic. Not really erratic even, because it wasn't progress, he just had one or two good days each year."
seems to tie in with what Huw was saying and his form in recent years - he was now where in this years Giro...
