| Third place Tour (complete with very sharp peak on the Block Haus), and winner of the prestigious polka dot jersey of best climber in the Tour de France, Franco Pellizotti has put behind him his best season, 2009. What will be the Giro d'Italy in the center of everything. As acknowledged in our microphones. "I repeat what I have done at least in 2009, but the hope is to do even better. A season focused on the Giro, which is very suitable to my characteristics, with many mountains and fortunately for me, little stopwatch. I'll do the Tour, a step not yet been overcome. "The Liquigas team is already ahead with the work we have first collegiate gatherings. Where it is shown the will, Pellizotti, to have the grades of captain only for the Giro. So we ask him dutifully confirming "Liquigas takes the Giro and especially can not afford to go with a single leader. Let's say that I will start as captain and Ivan (Basso) in my shoulder, although it's always the way to establishing the real hierarchy . I do believe that at least I will be leaving the captain. Not so much the fact that in 2009 I stood on the podium finish, rather than by a route that favors me a little compared to Ivan. " To win the Giro, Pellizotti should beware .... "Let's see who comes, I think a few foreigners, but if as I heard, Evans is one of the favorites is definitely him. We'll see if it really will not cure the ranking Cunego, Basso I said. Do not forget Garzelli." At the Tour of the Dolphin Bibione go, with different ambitions than last July. "I raced the last Tour, thinking intensely in the polka dot jersey. Now that I have it on board, I want to win a stage. I have come close in July, a stage in the Tour is as much, and honors me still missing. If then there will still be able to bring up to Paris the polka dot jersey, I'll pull back. But before I put a nice stage victory. "The key stage of the Tour, back about the rose that is so much at heart to Pellizotti." A real key step not see all those mountains, and there are many affects. Even the 'my' time trial at Plan de Corones. The key step are all, to win the Tour you have to always stay ahead and keep your eyes wide open. "What would give in exchange Pellizotti dellla victory in the Tour?" None. I'm happy of what I have already achieved in his career and I'm keeping. But the 2010 Giro I keep a lot, yes. " |
