Belgian TV reports that Paolo Bettini hasn't broken any bones after his crash in T-A, but he is definitely out of the race, and will be pretty beaten up for Milan-San Remo.

Bettini is out of TA, at least from the cyclingnews.com reports this morning. Don't know how this will shake out for MSR for him now. He might lose a little fitness between now and then, which will be too bad, as he is in great form right now.

That's disappointing.

This will make a huge difference in Milan SanRemo if he doesn't race it. Quick Step will have to rethink it's strategy.

We don't know how badly Bettini got knicked so who knows? Anyway, most likely this changes the game plan but I still like Boonen as the favorite even if comes down to a train to train drag race. ...I've drank the Kool-Aid and I'm looking forword to seeing what happens.
