Go Ricco go (where did that come from
). Well at least he's prepared to have a go.
Valverde needs to get his act together and put CE under pressure, otherwise he'll lose it in the TT.

He's even more boring than Indurain was

I reckon Thomas Voeckler's your man then. Did you see the way he bust a gut to hang onto the King of the Mountains jersey - before they'd got anywhere near any mountains?

Big Mig was done down on this count. Granted some of his wins weren't the most exciting of TdFs, but they weren't all boring. Being a quiet chap maybe didn't help his cause.
Recently watched the '91 and '92 TdF DVDs (picked 'em up dirt cheap at the Evans warehouse sale - about the only thing reduced to a proper level) and they weren't boring and neither was the way he rode. He did attack just more of a gradual acceleration than a Valverde sprint away - the cheeky little Chiappucci(one of my faves, and in that fantastic "denim" kit) fulfilling this role some of the time. Comedy moment in the DVD is the first radio used by Lemond. He had a helmet with a "Madonna mike" slung round in front of his face
. Also the biggest tri-bars ever seen, but also the beautiful classic down curved toptube lo-pros.Never like Evans though as he's a wheel sucker.
