Giro del Trentino 2012

[plooton]

Punta Veleno - super-hard hill, with 6 km middle stretch around 15 % in average, situated on the stage 3 uphill finish.

Sorry, I don't know why all the images I included are not displayed there.

Absolute porn, isn't it?

I forgot, is it a TTT and 3 mountain finishes this year?

Ya, finally I sticked the profiles above.

There are less big teams racing this year. I would have though it would be popular as prep for the Giro.

Reduced field is a pity as the race is now shown live on TV. Intense route. Looking forward to it.

Pozzovivo to finally win here.

My legs hurt just looking at that profile.

 

[jsem94]

Dat profile!

 

[El Pistolero]

Boring route. What's wrong with some real descent finishes and hilly stages? Unbalanced crap never works.

Really strong team for europcar according to official website of the race.
I'm really curious to see what Rolland will do on Punta Veleno.
Considering they might gain some time on Colnago and Androni in the TTT, he might hold on and take the GC

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

they definitely won't take time on androni in the ttt and rolland will suck. he's out of shape and coming back from injury

 

[dlwssonic]

Lol the TTT will be fun to watch, all the climbers battling it out.

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Hopefully Betancur can show something.

And Kessiakoff too, man, he really sucks hard so far this season. Kessiakoff was good on the steep gradients in Austria last year, let's hope he shows that again on Punto Veleno.

Is Pordoi gonna be the first Mountain >2000m raced on European soil for 2012?

I think so...

Giro del Trentino (17-20 April): Bono, Cunego, Lloyd, Malori, Marzano, Niemiec, Possoni and Scarponi.

A strong team with Cunego & Scarponi... No Fleche Wallonne for them

Another clear hint they're both heading to the Giro

Short TTT in short stage races really make no sense
