At the moment Ivan Basso is not having the best time at the Tour de Romandie after failing to keep up with the lead group on several days. The big question now is will he be ready for the Giro starting in a week?

 For the Cannondale rider, who doesn’t despair, there is still some work to do but nothing is lost yet.

 "To feel safe, I must build my form. Even if I'm not me as I would like, I still have to work. Honestly, I'm a little concerned but I do not want to give up," he assures La Gazzetta dello Sport.
