Viviani will ride the Giro and I think Puccio will as well. Puccio can support Viviani a bit, they might take another rider who can also help out Viviani a bit (Eisel)? + the others who are confirmed Porte, Seb Henao, Konig, Nieve, Lopez and Zandio

Most of those who do the Giro also do Romandie (as a training ride mostly).

Yes, Uran for example did the same thing last year and he'll do it again this year.
Trentino with Porte, Pozzovivo and Aru would have been a nice race, let's just hope that Landa or another Astana rider will step up and compete with those 2 for the overall win.

If you consider Porte at the same level as Swift,then yes.Anyway very weak field,Pozzovivo and Bongiorno seems to be the only threat for Little Richie.I'm glad that Tvetcov is doing this race and i hope he'll do well.

I guess Richie will win this by about 2 minutes

Not by 2 minutes, but he'll win the race.
Anyway, he's still gonna crack in the 3rd week of the Giro, I'm pretty sure of that.

richie will crack in mortirolo, contador's attack on RETA CONTADOR

Mortirolo or Finestre, with Finestre being the 3rd consecutive mountain stage I'd pick Finestre. But with Nieve riding the Giro König and Sebastian Henao should have more freedom, hopefully they won't be forced to help Richie when he has a bad day.

Nothing against Contador, but naming an ascent of a climb after a guy who has never really attacked on that climb is pretty strange and nothing but a gimmick. Contador will hopefully attack this year and prove me wrong, right now other guys have a way more impressive record on the Mortirolo.
