I love it when OBL makes predictions.
Like this one on Wednesday, according to Reuters:
"I think the Discovery Channel will be good because they've got the experience of riding the Tour de France team time trials," Armstrong said."We've got a strong line-up with some big engines like (Viatcheslav) Ekimov and (Pavel) Padrnos. Paolo Savoldelli is also riding very well and so I'm sure the team will be fighting for the win." Armstrong-led teams won the team time trial stage in the last three of his record seven consecutive Tour victories.
In 2005, Team CSC looked like it would win, but GC leader David Zabriskie crashed close to the finish, allowing Discovery Channel to snatch the victory. Thursday, in the fifth stage of the Giro d'Italia, CSC finished first, T-Mobile a surprising second, only one second behind, and Discovery third, 39 seconds behind (see item below). CSC boss Bjarne Riis wanted to avenge that defeat.
"I don't care about how much we win it by, winning it is the most important thing," Riis said. "Second would be a disappointment for us."
