Love these graphics that RCS do.

Lets have Purito Rodriguez FTW please. I hope Poels goes well again, and that Garzelli can go out with a bang.

Prati di Tivo will suffice.

What a crazy course, two real serious mountain stages! Suck it, Paris-Nice.

Yeah, it's really great that they've made Chieti stage that long and with Passo Lanciano, it just can't be boring no matter that a stage with mtf features next day. TA designers are doing THE GREAT JOB once again!

shhh at least try to keep the suspense for the evans fans :p

i also love how the 252k stage doesn't end on a big mountain but on small steep hills from the looks of it.

Finishes on the Via Salomone, that's where Scarponi won last year. Great finish.

Cracking route. Where are all the "Paris-Nice is the best week long race on the calendar" folks now?

But however fangirlish, she has a point. Contador is usually the man to beat in Paris-Nice, why should it be otherwise in a Tirreno which even seems to be changed to suit his characteristics, with a real MTF.

Scarponi will be good as well of course, but he's no match for El Pistolero (the rider I mean, not the forum poster).

Like when he almost did pass a totally wrecked AC in the Giro Queen stage`? :rolleyes:

Well its nice to see a Cadel fan aknowledge that Scarponi does have some talent, I suppose:p

The argument so far has been that Scarponi is a poor man's Damiano Cunego and that him coming 2nd shows that the Giro had the worst lineup in GT history, and not one of the participants would have come top 20 in the Tour de France etc etc.

Its an interesting logic, that coming 10 s behind someone on 1 stage, while losing 2 minutes two days earlier and a minute the day before, makes you equal to them but I guess we are on the same page regarding our belief in Michelles abilities:)
