Can anyone remember how the Giro do this - will we get profiles for every stage, or just confirmation of start and end town on some?

Last year they had 6 or so riders, Pettachi, Cunego, Scarponi, Nibali, Visconti and I cant remember who else, sitting on the side and giving their opinions on the stages, as Zomegnan went through them. Maybe Arroyo was there too.

They showed maps profiles and supermodels presented the jerseys.

Cav was there in 2009 for the 2010 presentation btw, showing off his Italian.

Also Zomegnan talked a lot, but we wont see this this year.

And before the presentation they showed this awesome video from the year before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlZbsmRzMqA&feature=related

So they probably will show one of 2011 this year.

I'm always impressed with Gazzetta's feed.
My internet connection is awful, still it never gets choppy :)

Sounds like I need a new computer then... it's the opposite in my case. :(

I guess when they'll show the route you'll notice it :p

Thats why I am watching it (and to see if I can understand anything).
Still it would be nice to know the exact porpuse of naming all of those guy's and having them come in in such an elaborate way.

So Cobo and Rujano to battle it out next year?
