2010 Giro del Piemonte - October 14

[craig1985]

Time to whet the appetite for the Giro di Lombardia.

Start list - cyclingnews

Past winners

Anybody with any better luck in finding a map and a profile of the course? Does it vary from year to year, what with past winners like Bennati, Davis, and Abdoujaparov?

 

[roundabout]

Indeed, it's not the same course every year.

Gilbert for the Win!

 

[hrotha]

I don't see many sprinters in the startlist. Is the course significantly tougher that in previous editions? More specifically, is that climb in the final kilometer new?

I pick Gavazzi.

 

[JRTinMA]

Kolobnev FTW.

 

[insideout leadout]

Gilbert for the Win!

And Pippo ftw...w as in wheel.

Too bad Vacansoleil isn't invited, it would have been a perfect race for Marcato to end his season with a win.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

So, who won? Any feeds? Gavazzi? Breschel? Gilbert? (though doesn't seem he's as hungry as last year after the Worlds).

It's tomorrow.

Ha! Thanks. Thought it was the 14th today, my mistake I guess.

The course changes every year.
This is my region. The final climb is short and not so difficult but there will not be a sprint.

Thanks. So I have a question - the race figuring in race lists as 'Milano - Torino', is this the same race? Or what happened to that one?

 

[roundabout]

Giro del Piemonte is a different race. Milano-Torino has gone the way of the dodo in 2008. Monte Paschi Eroica is sort of a replacement.

Paul Martens ftw, has good form from the worlds and should do well on this course. From a personal perspective, this is a good race for mauro Santambrogio.

Does anyone know what time this race will finish around so I can set my alarm clock?

Are you saying Cuddles isn't a chance?

Not hard enough. Mauro should be able to make it and sprint ftw.

 

[Tuarts]

One of the lieutenants for the main rider for the Giro de Lombardia will win this.

 

[Ferminal]

I was being just a little bit silly tipping Gasparotto for Lombardy, but he's a chance here for sure.

Visconti, Albasini, Gavazzi my other favourites, of course Gilbert will probably win.

Interesting that EBH is riding on Saturday but not today.

off-topic: why do you have a translated comment of Leukemans in your signature? It's the translator who didn't know the expression, Leukemans said it in Dutch.

[janraaskalt]

The Giro d'Italia twitter account had coverage of the start procedure. Perhaps they will also give some updates of the race.

70km in, group of six riders 6'35"

Ticker. Doesn't look like there is any live coverage at all.

 

[Ferminal]

Stupid... RCS need to get their act together, no point having a good race if you're not going to show it.

Just like Montepaschi Strade Bianche.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

TGBM to win by a minute or two

If he doesn't win it's obviously a clever diversion for saturday
