Thanks guys, just got my share of luck!
Also to Alejandro for waiting up on Sylvester in the run to the finish.
I picked him for placing 2nd to Moreau in a similar stage in Dauphine'07
and having good form in the Giro.
tic tac toe -
The Astana Cycling Team won the Team’s classification in the Tour of Italy.
Team Astana on General Classification:
6 Levi Leipheimer (USA) Astana 5.28
12 Lance Armstrong (USA) 15.59
15 Yaroslav Popovych (Ukr) 16.15
18 Jani Brajkovic (Slo) 28.07
31 Daniel Navarro (Spa)...
missed opportunity on pellizotti, only 2 4s & a 5.
should have been tipped heavily for his itt win up plan de corones last year.
garzelli too...on the rise!
who's still got the legs for vesuvio?
me thinks flahute & ingsve had the edge up blockhaus, very nice picks!
Interesting to note Levi got everybody's nod.
Rogers, Menchov also heavy podium picks.
Armstrong, Basso, Bruseghin, Lovkvist - darkhorses.
Other picks: DiLuca, Pellizotti, Pinotti, Sastre, Zabriskie, Millar, BoassonHagen.
Good luck to all!
Before the KOM competition starts, I'd like to point out El Imbatido's choice of J.Rodriguez. I believe there are 2 JRods - Jackson & Joaquin and both of them can climb well...just a thought. :)
Congrats to the TTT podium - Columbia, Garmin, Astana!
