My team is pretty much 100% sure, I just need to fix a few minor things and submit it durning the next few days.

Re: The thing is, the guy was at least 10kg over his Tour weight a few weeks ago, before the holidays. Getting back into shape will take some time and I don't know if he'll be ready for the Giro. Let's be real, Bernal, Sosa and Moscon with a solid team with guys like Sebastian Henao and Kenny...

Here's the exact profile of stage 6, provided by Lasterketa Burua:

Yes, the German Wunderhamster always coming out of hibernation at the right time and always being sick is getting a bit comical.

Aru himself said that the Tour suits him better than the Giro, so having one week stage races as his main target and riding the Tour would be him. In the end Dan Martin is the one rider who actually performed last year, so I'd make him an offer? Do you want to ride the Tour, with limited support...

Alright, time to bring the discussion back on track. According to the team this should be the team supporting Roglic durning the Giro: Gesink, Tolhoek, De Plus, Martens, De Tier, Van Emden and Bouwman Source: https://www.teamjumbovisma.com/video/news/roglic-aims-for-pink-jersey-in-giro/

Re: That pic really screams "You just walked into the wrong neighborhood MFer!" :D

Re: Having decent support for both Martin and Gaviria on the same team is already tricky. Aru himself said that the Tour suits him better (he's right) and if I was running UAE I'd make Dan Martin the offer to give him a team that is all about him for Giro-Vuelta, give him Ravasi, Conti, Polanc...

Re: I mean, It's a modern Vuelta route, so you know what to expect. Still, better than expected and way more fun that the Tour.

Now we only need a wildcard for W52 and we'll get the greatest show on earth. :D

De Fabiani dislikes Alpe Cermis, but he'll still race the rest of the Tour and I guess that he'll finish the race if he's inside the top 10.

Re: Re: Nope, just the good, Catholic ones. :D

As far as I know Sky will send Bernal with Moscon and Sosa to support him, probably also guys like Sebastian Henao and Elissonde for the mountains. I guess that Trek will give Conci, Ciccone and Eg a chance to ride the Giro without a real gc guy, maybe a 2nd rate sprinter and also Felline...

They have actually done it:

Manificat surprised me, first race of the season and already on track, the whole French team was great, but still. I get the feeling that they'll have to distance Spitsov before the final stage of the Tour de Ski, otherwise he'll probably wreck everyone on the Alpe Cermis, Another strong skating...
