Nice win for Jan today in the rain in Bern. He erased a 50 sec deficit to take the final TT stage and the overall in the Tour of Switzerland. Although the field wasn't the strength of a Tour TT of course, he does look to be nicely prepped. He stayed in touch on all the climbing stages (and there was 22,000 m of climbing in the 8 days, ouch!).
I'm pulling for him at the Tour, I think he wants it bad enough to take it all this time. Basso is young, he'll have many more chances, but Ullrich knows this is his last real shot, ever.
Also noted Phonak announced their Tour lineup but no Ryder Hesjedal. Too bad, I thought he was looking good for a spot.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
