Re:

Tinkoff-Saxo for il Giro
- Contador
- Basso
- Hernández
- Jensen
- Kreuziger
- Paulinho
- Rogers
- Rovny
- Tosatto

I'm a bit surprised why Rovny is there instead of Boaro/Poljanski, but guess Oleg wants a Russian in the team...

Don't worry, Rovny is just there to take out Uran's best climbing domestique Brambilla, it will be the rematch of the year.

Rovny vs Brambilla >>> Pacman vs Mayweather any day of the week

your post made me realize Manuele is not on the team and Poljanski was also really strong

Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo): The “pistolero” returns to the Giro with something to prove, and with an eye toward history, trying to become the first rider since Marco Pantani in 1998 to win both the Giro and Tour in the same season. Now 32, Contador might not be as explosive and fresh as he used to be, but he’s even more tenacious and experienced than ever before. When it comes to winning grand tours, no rider in this year’s Giro field has more experience than Contador, and he returns to the Giro in part because he loves the passion and history of Italian racing, but also to win another pink jersey. Officially, only his 2008 victory counts, but for many, Contador is also the winner of the 2011 Giro (he was later disqualified due to his clenbuterol case). Rather than settle for “just” a run at the Tour, Contador has bravely raised the bar this year with a shot at the Giro-Tour double. That reflects both his confidence and his ambition. Contador hopes to hit a peak during the Giro, and save some matches for the Tour, but he will have a real fight on his hands for the pink jersey.

Oh yuck just looking at the Giro team... Only Old man Toso Beast and young Chris Juul to guide Berto on the flat stages??? where is Manuele! we need him and Jesus should be switched with Poljanski

Bertie is in shape he does not even need a team. He had no real support at Discovery when Lance was around. Bertie can just follow wheels and whiz off when he needs to ,,,,,what a guy, smoke me a kipper

A look of bleak resignation, like a convict awaiting imprisonment. Worrying, but we shouldn't put too much stock into a picture

Now I have to admit; As annoying as most of your post are, that was just a little bit funny in light of the discussion in Froomes thread.

Yes a parrot, who's destiny is guided by the mighty Gods of cycling and leisure wear.
