i will update it

 

[Duartista]

Nice one, thanks. Apparently the first stage is very similar to this one, won by Steve Cummings in 2008.

Coldeportes are looking forward to some hills - http://www.biciciclismo.com/cas/site/noticias-ficha.asp?id=47438

 

[jens_attacks]

duarte will get the first one beating cunego.vamos colombia!!!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Ratto for the win!

 

[Fetisoff]

Kocjan is gonna win stage 2

 

[Froome19]

Kocjan is gonna win stage 2

Not if Viniani has any say.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Unfortunately, not even Rai Sport 2 can be bothered to cover this event.
A bummer, given how Rai contributed to getting Sardinia cancelled.

WHAT????
Giro Di Sardegna is no more? Classica Sarda gone to then, I assume???

 

[skidmark]

This race has gotten 1 stage shorter every year for the last few years... does anyone know if this is due to budgetary problems? This is usually the case...

and yeah, Sardegna isn't happening, but Classica Sarda is still on a few websites, like CQ... of course CQ had Calabria starting yesterday, so who knows.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Ratto for the win!

Indeed! GOGO Ratto!

 

[Zam_Olyas]

[jens_attacks]

also a picture of the region government:

actually untensilnord hasn't a bad team at all.

 

[Ruvu75]

The profiles shown in the opening topic don't seem to be exactly the same as the ones given by the organisation...

 

[greenedge]

I have Chavez and Moser for my CQ team but they shall have to work for Duarte/ Viviani ( who i think will win stage 1 and 2 respectively ).

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Will there be any coverage of this?

 

[will10]

Argh, so they took out the hilly stage? Viviani for 2 stages and the overall then

 

[canyonball]

Viviani has more km and a little edge speed-wise. But I'll actually go with Modolo. No coverage really?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The profiles shown in the opening topic don't seem to be exactly the same as the ones given by the organisation...

If these are the correct ones, it would appear we are in for countless miles of wasted road where the peloton will zoom past any spectators along the road. No wonder these types of races are reduced in number of stages.

 

[Lupetto]

No wonder these types of races are reduced in number of stages.

Not only reduced, they are dying a slow death. The GS Emilia boss spoke about this in an interview last year. He said that all of his races will be gone in the next two or three years due to UCI's global plans and the lack of sponsorship.

Km 43. Gruppo veloce ma compatto

say here if you find other places where to follow

Don't think its a bad thing to get some of these races removed from the calendar, if we can get something better in return. Perhaps places such a Italy needs to look into reducing the number of races and instead make whats left better with superior TV and ticker coverge. Sponsors simply doesn't get anything out of a race like the one we have today. Its almost like a club race.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

breakaway Parrinello (Androni Venezuela), Andriato (Farnese Selle Italia), Laengen (Team Type 1), Maggiore (Utensilnord Named) e Palini (Team Idea) have 2 minutes lead with liquigas and colnago leading the chase behind.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Man, if they wanted people to care about this race, they should kept that hilly stage. Nobody cares about a random small 2 sprinter stages italian race. At least with the profile first posted in this thread, it seemed as though stage 1 would be intresting.

 

[canyonball]

15 km to go. Gruppo compatto. Modolo vs Viviani.

Edit: Nop

1. Viviani
2. Colli
3. Favilli
