Are Androni not in. I would have tipped Sella to continue the recent tradition of former suspended riders winning. If not then that burden falls on Michele. Pozzovovio to get podium.

Of course Androni are in, acf must have missed their stacked lineup.

Monslave, Rujano, Sella, Serpa :eek:

This race could be 2 things... an awesome display of ppl getting in form... or ppl in form but who dont want expend energies looking forward to Il Giro... but anyway... I can see a Top 5 like this

Michele
Sella
Pozzovivo
Nibali
Rujano

I'd bet that Androni will put 3 riders in the Top 10 ;)

Anyone but an Androni, please.

Nice to see Kiserlovski back.

What you got against them?

A nice little Conti team trying to take on the big boys. Whats wrong with that? Couple that with hating on Contador for being shy and making tactical mistakes and im starting to see you as a bit of a bully;) I do remember you once said though that word snitch was created by bullies, so maybe not.

Maybe the hype that is rolling on the forum about them?
Especially since Rujano is riding again and Serpa is doing really good... or maybe a clinic issue with Sella? the Hype thing is most likely...

When are they going to sign Rebellin?
and I bet that if Ricco gets cleared Savio will sign him!
wow... just imagine that team with Rebellin and Ricco :eek:
Ok... I know... Is just me dreaming...

I don't rate Serpa or Rujano. Sella is going well but has come back from a doping suspension. Maybe I should of put him on the noted riders list.

Maybe you didn't explained yourself right. Maybe I didin't understand it. But Sella already rode last season for Carmiooro.

I'll be able to follow this one live granted there are streams. Would normally root for Androni, but they lost my support when a certain colombian dropped his moustache. So go Machado (just for the sake of chauvinism).

Fantastic area for a bike race...

It's very difficult to ride very far (except along the bike paths next to the river) without hitting some pretty sensational climbs.

And the white wines are pretty tasty too :)

I was fortunate enough to visit for work last year. If you ever get the chance, go, and take your bike.

Schumacher is on the list and Sella is going far better than him. Last I heard was he'd come back from a suspension, too.

Ah Trentino. The point in the season when you suddenly realize that the Giro is almost upon us!:)

The usual tv coverage: Rai Sport 2: 19-00 to 19-45CET.
This is followed after each stage by something that loosely translates as: Tuscany land.

A pity Rai feeds are so tough to crack.
I have a feeling that this year's Giro coverage will exceed previous years by some margin.

oh my....giro is so coming right now.and this race will be good.klodi is the main favourite because he's in great form and he's not peaking for il giro.guys like nibali,michele,kreuziger... i don't think they'll go full gas.rujano is still improving towards il giro so my guess is both serpa and sella will ride for the overall,you all know that campionato italiano is very important for savio.

so let the androni show begin!

Why? Sastre has a long past history of not showing in buildup races and getting it right for the Grand Tours. I wouldn't write him off until week 2 of the Giro at the earliest.
