2015 Giro Field Speculation

[Velolover2]

Tjallingii confirmed on his website that he is riding the Giro.

"Jammer want ik had een mooi plan om ver te komen en nog voor Sep te kunnen rijden. Nu mag ik even een week herstellen en dan op naar Yorkshire en dan de Giro."

Boonen at the Giro means a lot more than just a post-injury process.
He's not thinking about the retirement, yet. He won't leave without a bang.

And the question mark from Boonen should be removed. He is already confirmed.

Cancellara should participate in the Giro too. I would love to see them in couple of breaks together.

OP updated. Thanks guys, keep it up

And no Giro without the good old Petacchi: http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/01/ ... 015_357299

We might end up with a full list before the organizers..

That is great! I was just thinking yesterday how awesome it would be if he would ride Il Giro

Nowadays it's pure luck if we see just one of them in a break, let alone the both.

Atapuma's comments are Jan-2015. Few things have changed since then. His performance looks really good and BMC might want to take him to the Tour again as a close helper of TVG. Just saying.

 

[Escarabajo]

BMC would be sending De Marchi to go for the mountains jersey I would have thought.

BMC are idiots for not sending Tejay Van Garderen to the Giro. A grand tour with a 60 km time trial doesn't come along every year. This is a much better fit for him than the TdF.

Americans are fixated with the Tour.

So far he has followed the build-up schedule in the article, so I'm 100% that he will be there.

Tejay will have Stetina (who hopefully is fully recovered), Sanchez, Ben Hermans and maybe Veltis (who also has to recover). He is going to be ok.

Patience, guys... it's in the writing.
I'm also waiting for RCS to release the final kms profile.

 

[coimbrawu]

Two Chinese riders: Xu Gang from Lampre-Merida, Ji Cheng from Giant-Alpecin will ride giro (per Chinese sources).
Xu Gang will debut giro this year.

 

[coimbrawu]

As Kreuziger's CAS hearing setting for June 10th, he will ride giro as Bertie's domestique, right?

[Anderis]

Because there are 2 Kings in Cannondale, the opening post could state which one is on the provisional Giro startlist.

Re: Re:

Movistar line-up:

Beñat Intxausti, Ion Izagirre, Juanjo Lobato, Andrey Amador, Igor Antón, Eros Capecchi, Rubén Fernández, Jesús Herrada, Javi Moreno, Dayer Quintana y Giovanni Visconti.

Bold names are certain. Two of the others names still have to be dropped from the roster.

Who would be left to play domestics to Quintana and Valverde?

Izagirre and Intxausti will probably double up.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Nibali will ride the Giro as well as Aru.

[Hugo Koblet]

Nibali will ride the Giro as well as Aru.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ast...li-and-aru-ahead-of-classics-and-giro-ditalia

It doesn't say that. It says that Aru will ride the Giro and that Nibali will be ready to ride the Giro as well "if things change".

 

[Velolover2]

Nibali will ride the Giro as well as Aru.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/ast...li-and-aru-ahead-of-classics-and-giro-ditalia

Nah, nothing in the article states that he will be there. It's all for Aru this time. And the team still needs a rouleur on the flat (see Bozic).

Aru has been given team leadership for the Giro d’Italia after his impressive ride in 2014. However Slongo revealed that Nibali would be ready to also ride the Giro d’Italia.
