Hey Crux! I see the guy behind him has a Cannondale

He is standing on the top step of the podium and is barely taller than the other two!

I am glad that old Gibo can still get results.

Even if they are a bit extraterrestrial?  Just kidding. That was quite a performance.

 

I see Basso will be back to racing soon. Ulrich may not be so lucky...

Hey, Hey,my favourite Italian cyclist on the top step.

 

Thats just great, Gibbo is really a class act no matter what anyone says.

 

Lets see Basso get these results - actually lets see Basso win half the races Gibbo has in his wonderfull career.

I've always liked him, then got a bit irritatd with him with his feud with Cunego and then his commnets etc.

 

But racing some MTB races and winning for that matter.....well, he's right up there with my faves.

 

we've seen a few mtbers cross over to road, keen to see some aging roadies "retire" to some mtb'ing.

I think his little spats with Cunego and lately Basso is just typically Italian, lots of shouting, arm waving, stomping of the feet and attracting attention - most Italians just ignore it, and carry on.

 

I would wager they see it the same and have a chuckle about it every now and then.  

 

................but yes, I would like to see him continue his career in M/biking - he may be getting a bit long in the tooth for the grand tours now, but he still has a lot of experience and strength in those legs.

 

Great result.!!
