I doubt it will happen.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I too doubt it will happen. But wouldn't mind if he did as lead out guy. He would definately add some flair.

 

[jens_attacks]

he says he wants to be at the start of this year's giro lol that's just crazy.

for sure. If there's anyone who might pull the cork on the bottle of crazy, at his age, he'd be it.

and the stoy about riccardo ricco it was indeed just an appetizer for this.if this happens,it will be just crazy,i'd love it to see the king back

It would be a bit odd considering he already tried to come back in 09.

Good luck to him.

He could inspire the young guys on the team (that would be all of them, compared to him) with tales of his early years, when you had to jump off the bike and flip the back wheel around in order to change to the other gear.

Now now, don't be nasty to us Oldies
Anyway, it wasn't that hard to turn the wheel round: we had Butterfy Nuts.

What is cipo 42,43? Maybe he can still hack it? He sure looks good in the track picture.

One hope for Cipollini is a precedent set when Lance Armstrong announced his comeback somehow the above rule was curiously waived by the UCI since the Texan did not give the full six months’ notice prior to starting the Tour Down Under in 2009.


here we go

 

[Bavarianrider]

Wow that would be epic

remember guys, in 2009 Cipollini did very very good at the Tour of California

Who knows, i Cipollini hasn't secretly told the UCI about it a few months ago?

Still, it was stunning how good he was.

Cipollini at the Giro would be the best thing to happen in cycling for quiet a while.

I agree: his popularity in Italy is awesome!

The good thing is, the first real difficult mounatins come on the 14th stage. So Super Mario should have no problem riding the first 13 stages before dropping out.

Empty Giro PR.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Damn it would be epic if one of the Schlecks was in the Giro. I bet Mario would whoop their *** in tne prologue.
