while everyone is debating the fitness level
of Jan and his chances of beating Lance
Joseba Beloki has struggled to finish any race
this year.
Is his year over? career?
Ok, go discuss

If the beginning of his season is any indication, I would not bet on Beloki winning this year's tour. It seems to me that the multiple and traumatic injuries he incurred @ the 2003 TdF have held him back this year. Perhaps his body just needs more time to fully recover, or perhaps he will never rise to the level he once (no pun intended) possessed.

Or perhaps I’m full of it! I guess only time will tell. I can’t wait. :)

Look at the length of Dekker's recovery...Johan...etc. Wait a year or two before you decide

I was surprised to see him returning so soon- hopefully he'll give his body time to heal so he can come back just as strong as he was before the crash last year.
