Following a training camp on Tenerife, Ivan Basso and his Liquigas-Cannondale team-mates go into this weekend's Trofeo Laigueglia full of anticipation for what promises to be a successful season debut. This Saturday's 184km event in Laigueglia is the beginning of Basso's path to the Tour de France, a race he hopes to win following his triumphant return to the winner's podium at last year's Giro d'Italia. "The warmth of the Italian public always gives you a real thrill," said the popular Varesine, "With the spring races coming up, the Trofeo Laigueglia will be an important step for me. I'm fresh from two weeks' training in the mountains so I'll need time to adjust before I can get the most from all our work.

Does it also include not winning anything? I think the French have been using that method for years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spat Posted February 18, 2011 Share I hope for your sake he will be a contender this year Airbender, he has looked lack lustre in the last tour. I would love to see some real hectic competition in the GC standings. Nibali may be the man in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
