Then, too, we have yet to see just how strong Vino is! (Although yesterdays finish at PN would indicate he's definitely doing okay.) He did pretty much burst from the ranks of domesticity (so to speak) last year. If his progress has continued at the same rate, who's to say? While it seems unlikely, he could be THE ONE for T-Mobile, come July.

Different topic... been hearing people give Jan abuse for being overweight, relatively speaking. How is that a problem now, if all he's doing is racing as training? Seems to me it'd be a lot better to carry a little extra weight than hindering conditioning and risk metabolizing muscle by being in full race trim 3.5 months early.
