This thread (my only such thread, regardless of what wannabe pscychiatrists in the clinic would have you believe) actually did have a bait in it.
I was hoping to see one or two comical answers to the question who will wear pink in Milan.
The best ive got is Berlusconi. Any better ones?

I think that Menchov with Sastre's and Duarte's help can stay close enough to Conti then have a chance to take it in the Milan ITT.
luckyboy said:This is from an interview with him recently in ProCycling mag..
'When the UCI suspended Pellizotti five days before the 2010 Giro, he found himself pitched in at the last minute. Though by his own admission nowhere near the top of his form, he rode heroically in claiming the 14th stage to Asolo following a trademark descent.'
Not claiming Nibali is better, just I don't think the gap between them in the mountains will be as big as last year.
I really dislike Scarponi for some reason.

Menchov wins Grand Tours on odd years.
Sparta said:I hope Contador screws up. Then probably Nibali but I would like Kreuziger. Rujano will disappear as ujsual.
K-0tic said:Rujano was ok in Giro del Trentino but nothing special. I hope Kreuziger will do fine. Seeing his result in LBL he might just have hit form. Is he taking the Giro serious or is it just preparation?
Contador,Nibali,Menchov & Scarponi to be expected to battle it out for the podium places. I can't see a lot of surprises further more. Maye Rodriguez but that's it. Riders like Anton,Kreuziger & Pozzovivo probably top-10 but no more.
