		Beloki has finished on the podium of the past three Tours de France he has finished, but has been practically sidelined since his dramatic crash during last year's Tour when he was being pursued by Lance Armstrong.
		Beloki, if he can stay on his bike over the coming months, could find himself a contender for the Tour podium again — something which Bernaudeau is hoping for, but is being careful about admitting.
		Beloki's crash in the Tour — which forced eventual winner Armstrong to cut through a field after narrowly avoiding him — left him with fractures to his wrist, elbow and thigh bone.

		Beloki has steadfastly refused to make any criticism of the Saunier team management, but he was widely reported to be unhappy with directeur sportif Joxean Fernandez Matxin during the Vuelta in September.

	2002 Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main opposition would probably come from the ONCE team with Joseba Beloki (3rd last year), Igor Gonzalez de Galdeano (5th last year) and Marcos Serrano (9th last year), and from the Kelme riders Oscar Sevilla (7th last year, 2nd in last year's Vuelta a Espana) and Santiago Botero (8th last year).
		This time the work of the teams from ONCE (Gonzalez de Galdeano and Beloki) and AG2R (Kirsipuu) was not enough to catch them back, and the seven were to decide who would win the stage.
		Riders like Gontchar and Beloki also did not lose much time, so Armstrong might well have a harder fight ahead than the previous years.

		Beloki was transported Tuesday by air ambulance to his hometown of Vittoria for surgery at a private hospital, but long months will pass before he is rehabilitated from the broken femur in his right thigh, the complex fracture of his right elbow and his snapped right wrist.
		For Beloki though, the bitterest pill to swallow is the fact that he won't be battling Lance Armstrong for the yellow jersey when the Tour reaches the Pyrenees on Saturday.
		The images this week of the fallen Beloki's head being cradled by his ONCE-Eroski team director Manolo Saiz uncannily reflected those of 1971 Tour leader Ocaña lying on the gravel shoulder, attended by his Bic team manager Maurice De Muer until an ambulance arrived.

		For not only did Beloki have to worry about his physical recovery, he - along with his teammates - faced the prospect of unemployment after the end of the season.
		Beloki hadn't finished a single race all season and had to give up his cherished dream of the TdF podium: he no longer saw himself as a contender.
		He must get back into the physical form that he was in before the crash, and perhaps more importantly, he must find the frame of mind that will allow him to settle down, forget the crash and concentrate on the present and future.

		It could just as easily have been Lance’s wheel that went awry on that final descent, and we would be talking about the end of the Armstrong era and wondering who, among the very capable front-runners this year, might be heir to the Tour crown.
		Beloki would certainly have been among that select group, along with Jan Ullrich, Tyler Hamilton, Iban Mayo, and now—it seems—Alexandre Vinokourov.
