they have too many bad days to challenge the overall. both are capable of a top 10 but i can't see them getting any higher. |

damn just checked and it seems that Eurosport won't have highlights at night as they ussual do for Le Tour and remeber to did it sometime for Giro too.
So I will miss a lot of stage because I'm at school at that time.
Hmm my prediction before the start of it:
1. Basso
2. Menchov
3. Di Luca

that can't happen. The school in Romania isn't like in Sweden or the other normal European countries.
It really sucks.

take free from the school or have any serious illness for some week, the only options
but you must do something about it. |

QUIT SCHOOL.
After graduating, you're going to unemployment. Better shortcut now. |

the illnes I already made it 2 times this year and now it's the period with the final tests.
But I think that the high mountain stages are in week-end, or most of them. Plus on 20th,21st and 22nd I've got off.
I can live with seing Giro just a few stages in th week-end, the real deal is Le Tour.

I love computer programming bachelor study. I can just go whenever I want and miss lessons whenever I want. I only missed a cycling race 3 times this year, and that's because there was something REALLY important.
Other then that, I'll just skip the final lessons of the day and go home |

Zomegnan's doing his showmanship thing by saying that cheats will be caught if they cheat at the giro and all that crap.
In reality, we all know there's barely any controls at the giro.
Heck, if you all remember, last year when people started clamoring to re-test the Giro samples for CERA Zomegnan flat out told the press "they've already been tested. the Rome lab has had access to the CERA test for a long time".
Which directly contradicts many of WADA and the UCI's statements...

The Giro is going to be the only Grand Tour I see properly this year. Namely TV coverage.
