Julien Absalon wasted no time proving he was carrying the same kind of form and prepration that he used to win the World Championships in 2005; the twenty-five year old Frenchman lit up the the Liquigas Cup in Sinnai, Sardegna, Italy February 24th, proving that he has been careful with his off-season.
"My winter preparation was very good," the 2004 Olympic Gold Medallist said early this week. "I have participated in two races in Mexico and the Reunion (Megavalanche; held on a French-owned island just off Madagascar in the Indian Ocean). I also raced some cyclo-cross and practiced cross country skiing."
