SHOOT: He is racing with Levi Leipheimerand Chris Horner in the Tour of the Gila, an American Classic in New Mexico. From there they're going to the Giro Italia, which starts next Saturday.
The next few days will be filled with lots of hard work, but with Lance, seemingly fully recovered from his own recent collarbone break, riding incredibly strong in his warm up race for the Tour of Italy, and my fitness improving every day, it just may be possible for a three man team to take on an entire field and take the win at the end of the week. The running joke on the team this week is that between our "advanced ages" and injuries, we are not only the oldest team here but also the most hobbled!
I can't say how excited I am to be starting the Giro next Saturday in Italy. I feel like we are going to take the excellent motivation and momentum that we are gaining this week over with us to Europe. With how strong our three-man team has been, I can't wait to see what a full nine-man squad can do when we meet up with the rest of our Astana teammates in Italy.
