Bettini to Retire

Gavia and the gossip crew are out or I am sure this would have been up by now. According to Tuttobici (translated version) Bettini is calling it quits after his race in Varese tomorrow. Bettini apparently has not had success in finding a team or offers that would suit him. Gazzetta has it up as well. I am sure Bettini will be motivated to go all out for the last great win of his career tomorrow. Best wishes to Paulo.

The One Day/Classics rider of an era. I smell a strong performance from the Squadra Azzurri…

Dream on.

Paolo is past his expiration date. The Spainards will dominate.

He could be back

he’s another like Cipo who “lives in Monaco.” Has he lived there enough or will he be getting a big back-dated tax bill.

I'm going to miss the Cricket!

He’s not only one of my favorite riders, but my all-time favorite rider to photograph. So expressive! I was really hoping to see him at one more Giro.

I wonder if the decision will stick

I saw a quote in one of the articles I read (don’t recall which one) that he was “unlikely” to change his mind. It didn’t sound terribly definitive.
