Nibali, Pirazzi and Battaglin
I'll go Nibali, Santambrogio, Garzelli please!
Good luck all
Why not?
Nibali, Santambrogio, Cattaneo.
Interesting and definitely true fact - Santambrogio is Italian for 'holy rice pudding'.
Nibali, Aru, Locatelli
Agnoli, Aru, Nibali. Astana's race is over before it starts!
Santambrogio
Modolo
Aru
My Italians...
Nibali
Aru
Gatto
Vicenzo Nibali (AST)
Stefano Garzelli (VIN)
Mauro Santambrogio (VIN)
Pozzovivo
Pozzato
Santambrogio
My three Italian riders worth:-
Nibali
Aru
Locatelli
I'll try with Scarponi, Pozzato and Caruso, just to be a bit different.
There's 2 Caruso's in now...
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...
I think cyclingnews.com said they were putting their faith in Yuri Trofimov...
Luca Paolini seems a more logical choice.
sshhhh, dont mention paolini, no one else has picked him and if he does well I will be laughing all the way to the socks shop.
I'm in with
Cataldo, Santambrogio, Pietropolli
I'll chuck my hat in the ring too then...
Nibali,
Appollonio,
Di Luca
Nibali
Santambrogio
Battaglin
A bit boring, I know.
all the best teams have gone, lets put in an outsider,
Nibali
Santambroglio
Bongiorno
Ari Viderci, is he the cockney thats just got QPR relegated
Nibali, Aru, Trentin
random pick from the multiple winners if more than one person gets the best 3
THERE WILL BE A PRIZE also
*rummages in schwag cupboard*
Yeah, you can be pretty sure that Nibali and Santambrogio will be very popular. Aru and Locatelli too look like common picks.
