Fran PĂ©rez will ride after all. I don't know which one of the two replacements (Moreno or Perget) won't get to ride after all and which one will (filling in for Arroyo)
Id let Moreno ride, but the start list is up at eurosport if you want to look..

the eurosport isn't updated. it still has Arroyo in there (right now, at least). But Perget is riding instead.

Well I also think that it's going to be exciting to follow young riders like Seeldrayers, Spilak, Chris Anker, and Possoni for examble.
I think that some of them kan go for a top 20.
what do you think ? |

well, they're not going to be suprises if people go around shouting that, eh?
The first two, maybe. the second two, I can't see it happening. Who shows well at a grand tour in their first season? nobody, that's who

I don't think Hutarovich and Mandri can do something, but Spilak and Ochoa are interesting names in this years Giro. |

Depends on his motivation. Properly motivated, he can win the Giro.
Also, he's a good time triallist.
About motivation i obviously agree but in time trials i don't have good image of him, on his best Giro he was only allowed in breakaways because he had lost 5 minutes in TT. |

Yeah you're right, he ended 24 in the general classification last year in the vuelta. Maybe he can end in top 20 in this giro. But I think he's going to help Valjavec in the mountains. |

he lost 5 minutes because he was saving himself. And he regretted it at the end of the Giro. plus, he was only let go on one breakaway when Parra won where he won less than 5 minutes (hence the regret).
In the final very long TT where he was actually going for the overall, he lost less than 2 minutes to stage winner Basso. he gained a lot on Sanchez, Schleck, Zubeldia,etc.
He would've won that Giro if he hadn't spent the first few mountain stages killing himself with suicide attacks for the mountains jersey.

Another change: Noval out, Morabito in.
If on form, Morabito can be quite a surprise for a lot of people.
Cavendish says "For sure on paper I am the fastest guy there". oh brother
Menchov will be going for the GC, but his form is unknown (basically repeating what he's been saying all year)
This is going to be interesting. a TTT on day 1 always turns out insane results because no one's gotten into the racing groove yet and most haven't raced in the past week or so.
