Slightly Predictable. At least now Svein Tuft will be able to compete in some Pro Tour time trials
Has a Canadian ever won the Prologue of the tour de france. History making year?

Definitely excited to see what kind of splash this guy will make in the Pro Tour.
Also, I'm hoping he still does some track stuff locally, at least during the winter. It'd be fun to see a rider of that caliber hanging around.

I get the feeling that he will only be good on time trials and not be able to hang on else where. Hes a bit of a mystery rider. Who knows what he can do.

Yes he did. He's a great crit rider from what I've seen too, not that he'll be doing much of that in Europe, though.
And he certainly is a bit of a mystery. Anybody that can James-Bond their way into a Cat 1 race as a Cat 5 and narrowly miss the podium probably deserves a second look.  Or, in Garmin's case, a third or fourth look.

According to Feltet.dk, the Giro will next year visit the most active vulcano in europe, Vesuv.

I thought the most active volcano in Europe was Etna? Will they cancel the stage if the magma (or is it lava?) comes charging down the road?

Nah, the riders will get bikes with extremely high meltingpoints and hope for the best

I wasnt talking about the active or dormant part. I know full well that it is dormant.

I think that they mean, on the european mainland and not on Islands, as Stromboli and Etna is. That way it makes sense.

if that did happen, surely all other riders would burn and Bennati would take the easiest Giro win of all time
