I don't think so... If they had that chance they wouldn't bring these riders to the Giro...

Is Petacchi ridding the Giro or not? Because I had that bronchitis a month ago and I never heard any news regarding his condition since then...

Wow. I hope nobody put any money on who will win the Giro before that came out.
I'd say the odds just took a drastic shift.
As for Leipheimer being ready... I'm betting Astana knew this was coming a while ago. I'm sure they are in whatever form they wanted to be for the race. |

This is weird. And in some way, I couldn't really care less as long as Astana isn't invited for the Tour. If LPR can participate in the Giro, so can Astana  |

Both Contador and Leipheimer has been called home from their holidays, and RCS has confirmed that they have invited RCS and demanded that Astana bring Contador to the Giro. |
