Tour 2007

Mooi, CSC doet er niet alles aan om de trui te behouden:

13:18 - CSC’s Director - "We’ve decided to step back..."
“I think there’ll be a nice race with a lot of attacks," said Kim Anderson about the stage to Autun. When asked what he expects to happen, the director of the CSC team said the format is going to different from the first four road stage. "It might take a bit longer before the escape is established.
"That could be very hard for us and we’ve decided to take a step back and not do everything to keep the jersey.
"We won’t be disappointed if we don’t keep the overall lead. We’ve had a good start to the Tour but now it’s time to consider our main objective. We want to focus on Frank (Schleck) and Carlos (Sastre) and keep them protected for Saturday and Sunday’s stages.
"It’s a good profile for Stuart (O’Grady) and Jens (Voigt) – we’ll try to put either of them in the group – or even Fabian but I don’t think he’ll be allowed."

Auge heeft het al geprobeerd maar helaas terug gehaald. Chavanel is nu vooruit, die heb ik dus niet :|
