Wow, Farrar indeed looks slow. Démare jumps under his nose and he can't sit up. Renshaw is no more than the best lead-out man, but he lacks the jump.

Tirreno is harder stage race than Paris Nice so it should fit him perfectly. Especially if they put a 14km hill finish like rumored. @theyoungest: Paris Nice this year is about short hills (Mende=3km) and TT. Let's see if there is a ITT in Tirreno. Also Paris Nice is freaking cold and...

According to Alain Gallopin, Chris Horner is set to target the overall at Tirreno and not Paris Nice as Chris himself announced earlier.

Keep the advantage of a good skinsuit. Not sure the race provides skinsuit in his size or at least, not as good as his own one.

Hmm, no races for Mick Rogers in February... Surprising.

Any rumour on a ITT? I hope not, this race is fun with time bonus.

Taking into account that time trialing remains his thing, yes. For example, last year he was good on the itt on romandy but couldn't climb in the "hard" stage (despite not too difficult) to make a good overall. Same in Paris Nice.

Just noticed that Richie Porte has lost a lot of weight compared to previous years. I wonder how it can improves his climbing. Would well see him perform in Romandy and California.

This guy made some really nices WC in 2009 and 2010. I don't know him well. Whats is he good at? Mountain or classics? May be he can be a top 10 surprise in next year Vuelta if Caja Rural gets invited, and shine again in the Worlds'

André Cardoso I guess? Not Manuel.

Androni doesn't get automatic wild card ?? they won the Italian Team Cup last season again, which I think ensure them to get an invitation through some kind of agreement between RCS and Italian federation. I'd like to see Colombia Coldeportes. Duarte and his folks can make that race fun...

Who think that Farrar can make it through the Cipressa and Poggio and sprint for the win? (I know it depends of how fast they climb it)

:confused: Biathlon is for not-good-enough XC skiiers atmo. PS: I love this sport though

No news from Rebellin? He'll stay with Miche? Would like to see him again with Savio at Androni.
