Basso has gotten better at TT's....but Ullrich is a decent climber, and can TT faster than Basso.. Remember last year Ullrich ran into a car one day, and crashed another...

Last year in the final 55km TT Jan beat Basso by 1:30, and I think this year they have a couple LONG tt's. All he has to do is dominate the time trials, and stay close in the mountains.

No problem!

Of course, it could work in Basso's favor that Jan has a tendency to run into things.
