There's a wonderful feature on Rabobank's Michael Rasmussen (AFP photo) on Cycling News. It begins:"Michael Rasmussen's triumph in the mountains contest in the 2005 Tour de France was marred [by] a train wreck of a penultimate stage time trial. The former mountain bike racer known as 'Chicken' for his skinny legs and frame is planning to repeat the polka dot performance, but not the time trial debacle, and preparing for the 2006 Tour in his own way, as he tells Björn Scheele."
Rasmussen is a loner who prefers to train on his own, rather than prepare extensively with races. He is participating in the Giro d'Italia, but his focus is July and the Tour de France.
