What do you guys think, anything worth watching going to happen on the Cipressa or do I have time to go out for breakfast tacos before we see any real action?

The slaughter is about to begin :cool: First blood will be drawn already at the bottom of Cipressa, when the jets will ready the peloton for takeoff! _O_

An attack that will get caught before the Poggio. If you call that action.

Out of curiosity, was the Pompeiana ever actually run in MSR before? Or did they just ponder using it on that one preliminary route? Why'd they take Le Manie out anyhow?

Don't think it was ever used, but it fits right inbetween the Poggio and Cipressa, and is I think about as hard as the Cipressa. Think Pompeiana-Poggio would be good.

Or just say *** it and alternate year after year, to make sure the race doesn't get figured out in 2 editions
