Ryo Hazuki said:nibali's vuelta win was a fluke against either sh*tty riders and those that were good, got injured. he''s never been close to winning the giro either. in fatc he must count his lucky stars he finished on the podium in both cases. he;s also not improving at all. maybe his itt has improved this year. we will see.
roundabout said:I'd rather look for improvement in in high mountains over multiple days and long(er) time trials than 1-day races when looking at GT ability.
But who knows, this might be too irrational.
Ryo Hazuki said:yes. his resuts in classics have improved but that's just results. his itt;s we will see this tour
Ryo Hazuki said:that won't happen for sure

Christian said:DAOTEC already confirmed it a year ago, old news
Other Movistar signings like Contador and Unzue remain unconfirmed.Libertine Seguros said:Pellizotti originally signed for Movistar in January 2011 in DAOTEC world, and that's why José Luís Arrieta appeared in team kit in one of the photos, because they were going to photoshop Pellizotti's head in.
No really, that's what he said.

IMHO, would have been great to see Di Luca, Garzelli for ASA and Pellizotti for Androni in this year´s Giro, would have put much more quality to the peloton..
