We? I'm pretty sure it was Contador who won the race and not Bruyneel.

Thanks. Love your Italian races videos. Maybe it is possible to start a thread for race videos?

It's a real shame Betancur cannot ride the Giro

Read a few weeks ago that Acqua had been invited to Suisse - has that been confirmed anywhere? Betancur could be a real factor there.

The only - confirmed - invitation so far for the Tour de Suisse has been handed to SpiderTech.

Frank:“It all reminds me of the 2008 Tour of Italy when, one week before the start, we got an invitation for the race. In the end we won the overall.”

dafuq is he talking about?

It's Bruyneel.

Didn't Garzelli respond to the biggest screwjob in cycling history by saying he would try to focus on the Dauphine for the season instead then?

I know you're using hyperbole but don't forget "The Great One" as you so like to call him was flicked from Le Tour in 08.

No, he said Suisse. He's probably well aware that Italian pro-conti teams don't get invites to ASO races, for whatever reason.

biggest scrwjob was that Liberty Seguros couldn't start tour 06

But got to do the Giro and Vuelta. A and S are left with nothing. And the Great One had years left in him. For Garzelli this was going to be his goodbye

You can do a lot to a man, but don't deny a legend the right to say goodbye to his fans.

 

[Michele]

Today he was interviewed by RAI and he said he's not sure about leaving the sport or not, as he really wanted to say goodbye at this Giro.
He said he will end this season (by trying to get some win like at Lombardia) and then see if he still has motivations or not.

Had me scared their for a sec. Thought you were talking about Contador

Garzelli winning Lombardia would be a dream. I can't think of a scenario to which cycling fans would mark out more.

Err... no? Not every cycling fan hails to the likes of Garzelli, Contador, Rebellin...

 

[The Hitch]

I forgot about Garzellis masking agent thing?

Wasn't watching the sport back then, what happened. He got punished?

 

[El Pistolero]

Garzelli is the reason Mapei folded. He got a 10 months ban or something. Of course he doped, everyone at Mapei did.

Seems like a win-win arrangement. Stable revenue for teams, a respectable startlist for RCS. So good to see positive news concerning money in cycling.

RCS are being very smart here, mostly because ASO already said they refuse to do this kind of thing.
