Olympic road race a good test of Scanlon’s form

Brendan Mooney

Reports would indicate that the 1998 world junior champion may be a little bit tired going into the race and that may not all be due to the Tour de France but rather to the subsequent races ­ a world cup race in Germany and then the Tour of Denmark.

He has only had five days rest since the Tour de France and is on an eight day break from his team before he goes into another stage race in France on Tuesday week.
