Giro d'Italia 2016 Rumours

[WheelofGear]

I like stage 20. Brutal and ending on a hill top instead of a MTF. I hope the final descent is technical.

Re:

Do you guys think that Valverde could target the Giro next year? It looks well-balanced and good for him.

He could and it would be awesome but I doubt it.

Re:

It's going to be a nervous race from stage 4 to stage 10 !

also stage 11.

That suit looks uncomfortable for the presenter guy.

Enel is a new Giro sponsor for the next 3 years.

So.....

3 ITT (1 long, 1 short, one mountain)
5 sprint stages
4/5 high mountain stages (if you count stage 6 and 16)

And 8/9 medium mountain stages of all shapes and sizes.

 

[barmaher]

I love stage 4.

 

[barmaher]

I also love stage 10 and stage 14.

I hate stages 19 and 20.

 

[WheelofGear]

I like the route. Very well-balanced. It's gonna be the best GT again, again.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Valverde wearing a too large dark blue suit with light pink shirt. MESS. Points for pink though.
Sagan didn't even bother turning up in a suit

 

[WheelofGear]

That's the closest Sagan gets to a suit.

 

[jens_attacks]

sagan in a suit doesn't even make sense though

Individually all the stages are fine, apart from 19 and 20. The order is just a bit skew-wiff.

Yes, but better than expected.
It looks better than the 2014 route, a few very nice hilly stages.

Everything would look better than the 2014 route

I feared that we could get something like the the 2012 or 2014 route

Reminds me of this (i really need to get a better uploader. Pic Upload seems to delete the pics after some time).

Anyway, there are some nice capi on the way to Praia a Mare:

Viva il ciclismo

Next Giro maybe Paolini as the new Processo clown?

 

[May0maniac]

Now we get an awesome video about Ivan.

Piti meeting Birillo in Italy. Who could have thought that?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Somebody got a clue for what Alejandro said? I dream silently of him finally trying out the Giro...

 

[bassano]

for me pity is that last mountain stage is so short, I like more stages which are more chalenging even for distance and not only because of profile
but otherwise not so bad parcours

He is afraid of the bad weather
