Interesting and definitely true fact - Santambrogio is Italian for 'holy rice pudding'.

I meant Giampaolo, the one I can afford. I can't edit above so, for clarity, my three are:

Michele Scarponi, Filippo Pozzato and Giampaolo Caruso

Oh yeah - the other one's WAY too expensive! All those young rider points he got last year I guess...

Then again, Cannondale are potentially leaderless for the race and at less than 25 credits he could be a good shout. He did well dragging Basso's carcas around last year so he could suprise some people this year if he's allowed to ride for himself.

Also, anyone know who's leading Katusha for the Giro?

Thats why I went for Salerno - that, and the fact that its more fun to pick someone random. Just tried to put a quid on Salerno for the KOM, expecting 200/1 or something, but he didn't even have odds listed! He'd better not win it now...

Luca Paolini seems a more logical choice.

Yeah, you can be pretty sure that Nibali and Santambrogio will be very popular. Aru and Locatelli too look like common picks.
