I think this is the first time Valverde races in Italy since CONI banned him from racing there. If he wins expect the middle finger salute on the finish line.

Cycling is not a major sport and not many people follow it so there's not that much money in it. I agree that the teams should get some money from tv revenues, the UCI and the race organizers should be able to talk with the teams and work something out and then there would not be any talks about...

Moserino (little Moser in italian) is going to the Tour just to gain experience on GTs, there'll be no pressure on him to win a stage and certainly he won't be Cannondale's GC hope. The team will be there for Sagan only. Damiano Caruso (who was one of the most promising mountain domestiques for...

That's for Andy

Too many people want to follow the last kms and now noone will!

I agree with you on that. I seem to remember that the first 7 teams on the world cup ranking had the right to participate on the biggest races, that imo was a good system cause the ranking could change throughout the season and teams were racing hard to stay in the top seven and also gave race...

I generally prefer Tirreno so I might be a bit bias, but this year Tirreno should be super given the names of big riders that are going to participate. I already know which one I'm going to watch, I hope the route is going to be worthy. My guess is time trial the last day same as last year...

My thoughts exactly, at the moment Pinot seems to me the most likely to win a GT one day, he already had the chance to ride his own race at the Tour and I have to say that he's been impressive, on the other hand it would be interesting to see Quintana ride for himself in a GT, but I'm afraid we...

It's hard to compare but I voted for Giro '11 just because he made it look so easy and I think that if he had better competition he could have gone even harder. In the 2009 Tour Contador has been super as well but, has someone already said, he had extra motivation because of the team situation...

Well done to you, Libertine Seguros, sir! It's always comforting to see that someone in this world has a brain and uses it. Needless to say I agree with the points you made earlier. As for most of the posts I read on this thread I only have one thing to say: are you really comparing sport...

I just want to say that is easy to think: I can't believe he didn't say nothing at the time. Let's not forget that everyone was on the Armstrong bandwagon at the time and everyone was making a good living out of it, so why shake things up, why make your life more difficult? Try and ask yourself...

If we're talking about stage races Wiggo has been the best without a doubt, but I voted for Purito because I like him more and he's won 2 classics, 2 big classics.

I quite like this Giro route, I liked the last Giro route as well shame that the riders didn't make it very exciting, we'll see who's going to take part. I hope that Wiggins will go mainly because I'm very curious to see how he will cope on some serious climbs. Contador will definitely skip the...

It has been a while since a posted something on this site but today I just want to say that whether you like Contador or not he's a proper champion, what a rider, what a ride! Super Vuelta, on a par if not better than 2010 giro.

Finally a sensible comment after all this doom and gloom from most of you, it's only the first week of the tour ffs! Now Sky has to defend the jersey for two weeks, if they manage to do it hats off to them, but I don't think there's going to be 3 or 4 sky riders in front on the climbs in the...
