Tour of Lombardy - Mendrisio to Como confirmed
Tue, 9 Nov 2004 19:34:01 -0500
The contract with the start and finish towns for the Giro di Lombardia are confirmed according to the
triennial agreement through 2006 according to La Gazetta dello Sport, the organizer of the race.
The 2006 edition will mark the 100th running of this traditional end of season Italian classic. It was first
conceived by Italian racer Giovanni Gerbi and has missed only the 1943 and 1944 editions on account of the
war. First run in 1905 over a circuit starting and finishing in Milan, the organization of the race was
taken over in 1907 by the current organizer, the popular Italian "Pink Paper", La Gazetta dello Sport.
The winners over the years include Binda, Girardengo, Coppi, Bartali, Merckx, De Vlaeminck, Baronchelli,
Moser, Hinault to mention just a few of the great champions of the past who have been victorious here.
But some just as famous names have been disqualified:
1907 : Gerbi (1st) et Petit-Breton (3rd)
1916 : BELLONI (2nd)
1925 : GIRARDENGO (2nd)
1928 : BINDA (2nd)
1929 : BIANCHI (2nd)
1930 : PIEMONTESI (1st)
1941 : BINI (3rd)
1969 : KARSTENS (1st)
1973 : MERCKX (1st)

Ullrich cool on Armstrong 2005 Tour Plans
Tue, 9 Nov 2004 10:44:58 -0500
Former Tour de France champion Jan Ullrich says he does not care whether six-time winner Lance Armstrong rides in the 2005 Tour. "It's all the same to me whether Armstrong comes or not," said T-Mobile rider Ullrich, who has finished second to Armstrong three times. "If you want to win you have to ride faster than the rest." Ullrich also hit out at the decision to cut the number of time trials in next year's Tour by one to three. Last week Armstrong said he had not decided if he was going to race in the 2005 Tour. However, unlike Ullrich, T-Mobile team manager Walter Godefroot believes Armstrong will be back to try and extend his record of victories to seven. "I'm not convinced that Lance Armstrong will miss the Tour in 2005," said Godefroot. "He's only saying things like that because right now he doesn't want to heap any pressure on himself."
