Cipo has withdrawn from Flanders and GW. No reason given. Do you think he's done? :mad:

Try not to count anyone out. He's 37(?) now and sprinters loose top-end speed after a while. And he's never been much of a climber, so it's tough.
I'm not sure what I'm trying to say.
I heard his team made the TdF cut this year. I wonder if he'll pull out of the Tour after the flat stages end too.

He has promised LeBlanc that he will finish the tour. I have to give him credit
for the attempt (hell I don't know that I could even finish 1 mountain stage).
The only question I have is can he beat the time limits in the mountains?
then again he has finished the Giro before, so maybe. . .

Did I miss the Giro? ::checks calendar::
Nope. Cipo ain't done yet. :)

If history is any indication .... then, YES is your answer.

I hope he finishes the tour this year. He pulled out of these 2 early races probably not quite in the shape he wants to be. Can't count out the Lion King yet, can we?!?!?

He was heading to sign in but there was a set of stairs so he abandoned.

I predict Petacchi abandons the TDF when he has to climb out of bed.
