Giro D'Italia

So, the time has come. The first Grand Tour of 2012.

No previous winner, obvs, as Contador was banned.

Grainy Thomas will make an appearance, as will the Manx Express, in an attempt to gain the last points jersey that he hasn't won.

Pinotti's leading BMC.

I think that Basso will try and do well, as will Fuglsang.

Normal Italian Wildcards and net app: Giocattoli, Colnago-CSF Inox, Farnese Vini-Selle Italia, Team NetApp.

Jose Rujano is a personal favourite

Relatively straightforward Danish TT and two stages to start with.

Would love to hear your thoughts with regards to your teams.

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

He turned professional in 2007 with Team CSC, as the Saxo Bank team was then known.

My team consists of virtually all sprinters with one or two already picked for the hillier stages. The TT is only a short one so it should not cause to much problem for the sprinters.

I think you'll find 8km on your own for a sprinter is a long way, I don't expect to see them in the top 20

Raleigh, you are learning this deception nicely, but it still lacks a little, because the guy with a birthday on 9th June didn't turn pro until 2009 with Saxo. 3

I was going for tuft, but replaced him with Rasmussen, with the plan to bring Goss in tommorrow - which i couldn't do with Tuft filling the second green place. But demare is interesting - he could do well tomorrow i think,

Not done as well as I would have liked today!
1,2,3 but everyone has them
But will have 5 sprinters for tomorrow, as my plan always involved bringing in the two star sprinters you have, left the correct credits in the bank for it
