Think we can rule out Frank riding the Giro then. No way is he going to do Giro - Luxembourg - Suisse - Tour.

Please, no. They should just attack in those races. And maybe go for Matthews/Breschel in MSR, I don't see Renshaw surviving the Poggio.greenedge said:In Mark Renshaws' blog he says he wants to help the strong Classics riders but at G-W, M-SR and KBK he should be their leader right???

El Pistolero said:I think it was one of Katusha's DS that said he'll walk from Moskou to Paris when Menchov wins the Tour. Could also have been St. Petersburg by the way.

On cyclingcols.com you can find more details of the climbs. Like the last climb of stage 2, the awesome MTF of stage 3, the2x challenged last climb of stage 4 and the last climb of stage 5.
Looks good, doesn't it?

He finished 10 seconds down on Contador/Purito... I don't see how that's bad. And it's hard to control the race on a climb like the Montee Jalabert, it's just every man for himself.greenedge said:With Wiggins doing P-N and his team riding for him there, the race will be controlled on so many stages. Brajkovic and Menchov will also be 2 other riders who will want to keep the race together ( especially after Menchov on the Mende in the 2010 TDF was not great )
