Giro 2012 Field Discussion/Rumours

[cineteq]

rujano is currently like 70%. he was 50% in settimana and will be 85-90 when giro starts. roughly said of course.

Rujano looked like more 85-90% in Trentino. Be real.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

it's hard for me to put % I don't mena he will be riding 30% harder in may. maybe 15% he is also overweight still a bit. which is good. he better start too heavy on the giro

 

[therealtimshady]

Anyone know if itv 4 is showing the giro? In the past they said it was too pricey - I assume as no statement has been released it's eurosport only

Nibali confirmed he is going to the tour at the start o lbl today, so no giro for him

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Great news!!!! Thanks!!!! :d

Doesn't make sense

liquigas will never take the risk of failing at the giro. so nibali will ride and or basso. they won't have szmyd lead the giro in case basos fails and basos is far from certain.

No, he's riding the Tour of California. He confirmed it this morning.

"After some encouragement, Nibali admitted he’s unlikely to race the Giro as well. He said, “The team will decide, but I believe my program will be the Tour of California, the [Critérium du] Dauphiné and Tour de France.""

Great preparation!
Obviously, he's not keen to ride the Giro, so to me this conversation is over Ryo!

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

nibali has no say in this. and that's what he says as well. the team decides

Looks like Haedo will get some semi-decent support for once.

 

[dlwssonic]

Really trying not to be bias here.
But the first stage is Phinney's to lose!(just don't ****ing fall!)
A GT stage and a maglia rosa will be mighty impressive for someone his age.

hmm. this looks good for jj. finally

 

[Cimber]

Indeed. Also Boaro and Christensen have shown good form and have been agressive so maybe they can get into good breakaways on stages not suited for JJ.

A shame about Majka. Would have loved to see him riding his chance in the GC.

Barry said on french canadian TV yesterday that he will not ride the Giro. That open up a spot for Sky.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

good. he's the last rider uran and henao need. better bring in a stronger man for the ttt now

 

[JRanton]

Why, just so Henao can get dropped off the back?
