MartinBjerg - Bassos mobiltelefon er sporet til at have befundet sig i Madrid.
- Basso har købt flybilletter med sit kreditkort til Madrid, og brugt dem.
- Bassos hund "Birillo" figuerer på kodelisten.
- Basso bliver nævnt i flere samtaler. Bl.a. bliver han omtalt som Birillo i denne samtale: On the previous day (May 13), Labarta called Fuentes at 20 and spoke about the great performance of the "Buffalo" - Gutierrez' oft-used nickname - who finished fourth in stage 7 on that day. A surprised Fuentes said, "Buffalo?", to which Labarta responded in the affirmative, also listing the stage placings behind Rik Verbrugghe: "Savoldelli , yes, and behind at 16 seconds, Birillo arrived with Simoni, at 20 seconds Zapatero , at 24 seconds, Uno . All very well. I want to say that all those who you are looking after, or who you are interested in, are in the race and also doing well."
Det var umiddelbart, hvad jeg lige kunne komme i tanke om. Jeg finder det sidste punkt meget svært at bortforklare.
