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.
