lets think about the teams and there man's for the giro
rabobank: mollema for the maglia verde, while automaticly joining the top 10
aqua&sapone: garzelli and masciarelli for the top5/podium. or garzelli for the maglia verde again.
AG2R : Valjavec for top 10, guess efimkim will do the tour
androni: Serpa as the man for the classment or for the maglia verde. or scarponi for the least
astana: vinoukourov and tirralongo as double for the overall
bbox:
bmc: evans for the overall
caisse d' epagne : bruseghin for the overall? or bruseghin as dubble force with cobo or uran?? arroyo as super-domestique or soler, or both? damn if they have one strong climber as leader (i would prefer cobo) that's a perfect team to win the giro!!!
cervelo: sastre for the overall
csf: pozzovivo for the classment and maybe as a dark horse for the overall/podium
cofidis: taramae or el faris trying to get their first top 10 position in a gt?
footon: kessiakoff and capecchi. but normally not for the top10 or the maglia verde....
garmin: puuuuh farrar for the sprints that's clear. but for the classement? can't see anybody. zab prefer the toc, tommy d. might prefer vuelta, vdv just to train. martin hmhhh don't think so
lampre: no simoni no man for the overall. if cunego wants to win the vuelta he maybe could, but i don't see him be competitive any more in the italian alps or dolomites. tirranlongo is gone...
liquigas: pellizotti for the overall. basso for top 5 / podium and super-domestique.
lotto: can't see anybody for the classment or the maglia verde
quick step: seeldrayers for white, but for top 10??? noooo
sky: löv for white yearsey and top 5, if he didn't break
columbia: might be focussed on the sprints only. rogers at the toc and i don't eypect to see martin there too. siutsou isn't competitive...
katoesja: rodriguez for the podium? maybe he will try it.
milram: rohregger, but with him it's the same as with siotsou
saxo bank: i expect no man for the classment. or will fränk realize that it's the only gt he maybe could win?
the sprinters would be the typical candidates:
bennati, cav, greipel, freire, van avermaet, förster, haedo, mc ewen, napolitano, pettachi, hondo, farrar, keukeleire, ballan, bazayev and so on....
