The Simoni experiment
For Lampre-Caffita's team leader Gilberto Simoni, the JCTDU represents a big departure from his usual early season racing program. But the dual Giro d'Italia champion is always willing to try something new. "I'm here because it's a new experience for me and because I would like to start immediately with the season," said Gibo, who looked relaxed and happy to be Down Under. "The reason I'm here is because I saw big riders like Stuart O'Grady, McEwen and others win the Tour Down Under and also be strong during the Tour de France and the World Championships. So I thought that I could do the same and this would be a good opportunity for myself. But I will see tomorrow how it's going and will see what I can do."

Simoni said that he had no idea of how his form would be. "I don't know because I've never started to race so early in the season, but I hope to do as well as I can. Also I know that the Australians are very good. It's one of the first five nations - fourth in fact. So I don't have to teach anything to anybody," he smiled.

うまく行きますように…。
