Tom Perilloux

Good point. He's setting expectations low at this point. Initially, his
comeback was to win the tour. Now the hype is beginning to die down and
he's saying it will be a challenge and maybe he will race the Giro. No way
he wins the tour after racing the Giro.

Personally I think he needs to concentrate on the cancer awareness and race
wins are secondary. That way he can call his comeback a satisfactory if he
raises awareness and a great success if he gets some wins.
