Landis derails Discovery in Chattanooga

Floyd Landis' dream 2006 continued Thursday as the winner of Paris-Nice and the Tour of California won the 39.9 km time trial between Chickamauga and Chattanooga and took the lead in the Tour de Georgia. Last year's winner, Discovery's Tom Danielson took second, 4 seconds back of the Phonak leader.

The race left Georgia for a day via a grueling climb up Lookout Mountain for a finish along the Tennessee River.

"It was very difficult; there were hard climbs in the middle," said Landis who admitted to using too big a gear at the start. "I kind of paid for it, but got through it. I think I started a bit too hard. I should have gone easier in the climb but didn't have a choice," added the Texas native who takes the leader's jersey into Friday's mountain stage.

"There's no way we can get any time on Floyd tomorrow," Danielson said as three other Discovery team-mates found themselves in the top ten with Jason McCartney (7th), Janez Brajkovic (8th) and Stage 2 winner Yaroslav Popovych in ninth place.

"We attacked last year like crazy and made the race really difficult on Floyd, but he has a very, very strong team this year. A lot of them are good climbers. We have to conserve as much energy as possible and not get too far ahead of ourselves," added Danielson.

Another American, CSC's David Zabriskie finished third as he returned to the fore after losing his yellow jersey in last year's Tour de France with a heartbreaking crash in the team time trial.

"It was hard to get a rhythm," said Zabriskie. "I did the best I can do, but I'm not overjoyed with third place."

Is Basso being too ambitious?




Ivan Basso, ambitiously going after both the Giro and the Tour, is back in action in La Fleche Wallonne for a CSC team seeking their third straight victory in a spring classic.
Team CSC is looking impressive and a clear favorite for both tours, but is Basso being too ambitious, should he just focus on the tdf and use the Giro as training? (This is what Ullrich is doing). Will Basso's decision play into Ullrich's hand in the tour de France? Only time will tell, but Basso for sure doesn't lack courage.

Basso likes the time trial in tdf - Ullrich optimistic

"Nice, very nice," were Basso's words after having completed the parcours from Saint Grégoire to Rennes twice - the first time easy, and the second time with a little more edge. "I think it's the best time trial course in the last five years; it's very suitable for power."

On his website Ullrich said he was optimistic and the infection in his knees is not too bad.
Let's hope he could be a 100% come tdf time.
