Parigi.Nizza & Tirreno.Adriatico

Two brothers, a road that separates different races to find the same result: a victory. Frank is committed to "Race the Sun" this year sees the bad weather but the French star, Andy is enjoying the sun while taking part in Italy's Tirreno-Adriatico.

The 2008 Paris-Nice, which began Sunday, March 9, when it was given the "move" to that of Amilly and will end Sunday, March 16 in the traditional setting of the Promenade des Anglais in Nice stretches along 1230 km, divided into seven stages and a preliminary time trial, all in France. In the fourth stage of the race also rediscover the legendary Mont Ventoux.

The days prior to departure were marked by bitter controversy between the ASO, the organizer of the competition, and the UIC, which threatened to severely punish the riders taking part in this race "rebel" , recently released from their calendar. Another source of disagreement and conflict has been the exclusion of Alberto Contador, English cyclist the winner in 2007, which could not take off and defend the trophy won last year, as part dell'Astana, team involved in numerous doping scandals during the last season (when it does not, however, Contador was a member), to which the ASO banned to participate in every event they organized.

Less stormy organizing a Tirreno-Adriatico in the tradition, which began in Civitavecchia and ends with the classic findings of a San Benedetto del Tronto, a city that was the scene of the last goal all editions of this race, except for the first, the 43rd edition of the Corsa dei Due Mari conter to a total of seven stages including a 26-kilometer time trial, for a total of 1123 km and will the scene on Wednesday, March 12 to Tuesday, March 18 and will be the ideal test-bed for the Milan-Sanremo, this year scheduled for Saturday, March 22, the eve of Easter.

So far only negative note in the land of Alps, with Fr ä nk Schleck leading to a fall in the second stage, plagued by bad weather, in which he violently slammed the back and both shoulders against a rock wall. From "Italian front" instead of Andy shows a good hill start, so much so that often managed to stay hooked to the best men, revealing excellent signals in what for him is a little more than a workout.
