Re:
Quite a few. It will be the sole focus of the season for nine of their dozen or so strongest riders. They shouldn't be there, but they won't half-ass it.GenericBoonenFan said:

Re:
Seriously, is this really gonna go through? Or do they suddenly invite Roompot / CCC / Androni 2 weeks before the Giro like they did in 2008 with Astana!?
Maybe they gonna go fully CSF Sella instead.jens_attacks said:

Alexander Foliforov and Aleksey Rybalkin are to interesting prospects, they could surprise a few people in the next few years
Nonsense, Zakarin will be the next Berzin and he'll have an army of loyal sputniks riding for him.jens_attacks said:

Re:
Nothing. But they ain't as weak as Gazprom probably. And they would be able to arrive at the Giro start as soon as RCS realizes that 2 days before the team presentation.Breh said:

Re: Re:
Maybe Breukink could arrange a comeback for the Giro. But same can only be hoped for Serhiy Honchar.
They've got Johnny “the locomotive“ Hoogerland as well.Mayomaniac said:

I'd rather RCS sacrifice a wild-card spot to a big money, weak team than lose one of their current races. Racing wise it's not a good decision, but RCS clearly feel that it's better for the long term/bigger picture that Gazprom are invited. They know more than we do about their current financial position, and I doubt they have taken much pleasure from taking this decision. And thus, I'm ok with this decision. Obviously i would be mega-pissed if I were CCC or Androni.

Re: Re:
Riders who have a ride because of their nationality is a particular specialty of both Roompot and Rusvelo. I wouldn't have chosen either. I don't think Roompot were ever serious contenders, mind you. Then again neither were Rusvelo until someone got the chequebook out.roundabout said:
According to https://cccsport.eu/en/ccc-sprandi-polkowice-with-invitations-to-tirreno-adriatico-and-milan-sanremo-2/, CCC did not apply for Giro wild card this year:
- Mar 22, 2010
- 7,296
- 724
- 19,680
So, are we expecting those selected to justify their inclusion?

Re:
).
Southeast has a good sprinter and Nippo are bringing Cunego, Bole and Grosu, but Bardiani seems to have the most balanced team.
Right now it's a one man team and before the start of the season I wouldn't have picked Firsanov to be that guy (Jens alredy picked him to be their star before the start of the seasonstaubsauger said:
