i'm not the biggest fan of the guy, but

with regards to that day, don't count Valverde out. it's reasonably hilly instead of nice & flat like Cadel would like (though it is long which suits him.) It'll be over an hour of riding for the winner.. there is definitely going to be some significant time gained by a few, lost by many.

but without question, Piti has increased his TT abilities over the last year. of note, on the way to his overall victory there..
Valverde steals the 2008 Dauphine ITT from Leipheimer & Evans


In any case, it will be awesome to see the 2 of them battle it out.. Not sure if you followed the Spring Classics but they were both big players this year.


The rivalry should be intense
