Botero better than the rest

Ever since Santiago Botero showed he could match some of the best climbers in the world after finishing third on the third stage to Anzère, overall victory was always a strong possibility. Today, it became a certainty.

On one of the most demanding though exciting parcours ever conceived, the 32 year-old Colombian produced a flawless display of controlled power, blitzing the 20.40 kilometre Lausanne TT in 26 minutes and 29.41 seconds, and never - not even for a millisecond - looking in doubt of losing the race. 25 seconds behind in second place was Bradley McGee (La Francaise des Jeux), who appears to have exorcised his demons that prevented him from contesting the overall classification, where he finished ninth in 2004 before going on to another top 10 finish at the Giro d'Italia.

33 was the race-winning margin between Botero and overnight leader Damiano Cunego (Lampre-Cafitta). Despite an excellent performance from the 24 year-old lad from Verona, it was always going to be a case of "mission impossible" for Kid Cunego to lose no more than three seconds to Boom-boom Botero. In the end, he placed fourth on the stage and finished the tour second overall. But we all know he's got bigger fish to fry, starting next week in the Giro.

"Today, I think I'm the happiest man in the world," Botero told Cyclingnews at the post-race press conference, his piercing green eyes glimmering with joy.

"In this sport, you need everything to be perfect. That hasn't happened the last few years, but now I am healthy and I trained very hard in Colombia during the winter [16,000 kilometres to be exact - ed.]. This is the result of all my efforts."

McGee, who came into the race with sizeable expectations but failed to deliver until today, told Cyclingnews almost the exact same thing: "It's just one of the crazy things about this sport," he lamented with a wry smile before the start.

"Everything has to be right, and if it's not, then forget about it. I'm not sick, I'm feeling healthy, but I'm having trouble breathing sometimes - it could be an allergic reaction, so I'm having some tests done... we'll see what they say."

Well, Brad, maybe today was the best test you could have done.

"I was the one who stuck my hand out and said I want to be a GC rider, so the pressure's on me," said McGee. "But sometimes the best thing for me is to have that little bit of pressure, and I'm going to continue livin' my dream."

One of the Sydneysider's favourite phrases, often aimed at those who choose the path of sin and doping, which he is a staunchly outspoken opponent of, the 29 year-old from Parramatta will continue to 'live it real' by riding targeting next month's Tour de Suisse before Le Tour comes his way in July.

For Santi Botero, the possibilities seem endless. When asked 'where to from here?', Botero nodded in acknowledgement when Cyclingnews said his form appears as good as in 2002, the year he won two stages in the Tour de France, one stage at the Vuelta and Dauphiné Libéré, the Classique des Alpes and the world time trial championship.

While Botero admitted the Tour de France is 'the' big objective for his Phonak team, 'Santi' didn't get into specifics as to who would lead the Swiss squad at the world's biggest bike race. Rather, he told Cyclingnews that this is one of the team's advantages, in that "there are no big stars, nobody bigger than all the rest, but everyone on roughly the same level" - a strong reference to his previous situation at T-Mobile the last two years.

"This is what I like about this team. Phonak did not put pressure on me; they let me train my own way, and they trusted me. In the Tour, we will have Floyd [Landis], we have Oscar Pereiro, Alexandre Moos and myself... I think we have a very good team," he said with quiet confidence.

Other top rides were done by: Oscar Pereiro (Phonak), who catapulted from 15th to 7th on GC after finishing third on the stage, and along with team-mates Botero and Alexandre Moos, secured their lead in the teams classification; Stefano Garzelli (Liquigas-Bianchi), Thomas Dekker (Rabobank) and Laurent Brochard (Bouygues Telecom), who placed fifth, sixth and seventh on the stage; and Aussie neo-pro Luke Roberts (Team CSC), who set the early best time before the big hitters had their say in the classement. Denis Menchov (Rabobank) and Alberto Contador (Liberty Seguros) maintained their fourth and fifth positions on GC, placing 18th and 15th respectively.

Said Contador's DS Manolo Saiz on his star pupil, whose performance was less than what many expected today: "He has not been well - fourteenth is not his place. He is so young and lacks a lot of force to confront a parcours like this one, but he has done a great week and the balance is very positive."
