Oh, of course, how could I forget: he's also one of the 7 riders from the 2007 Giro who had impossible hormonal values and accused traces of steroids.
The other 6, by the way were Bruseghin, Piepoli, Mazzoleni, Riccò, Di Luca, Simoni.
Source on that?
And a tattoo heart to take away. Money don't. |

If I were bored at work, I'd look for one, but right now I really don't feel like looking for it. I think it was on cyclismag, but who knows anymore, it was 2 years ago. Sorry
EDIT: The only ones CONI investigated, BTW were Piepoli, Di Luca, Simoni and Riccò

A word is indeed a lot, but not enough for 100%. You do understand you're trying to convince a fan, right? 
A couple of reasons make me think he's clean. Suposedly, L'Equipe too, although no proof on that. Although, it may not even be necessary. Sometimes, believing has nothing to do with rationality. That's why there's a Jesus. I'm a fan, for God's sake, I HAVE to believe. I'm pretty sure you do understand my point.
Now go away and don't tell me anymore about those wattages in the 2007 Giro. |

Iam also a Damiano fan. But Iam not sure he was clean before 2008. |

To warmup for the Tour, help at the TTT and try to win a stage.
Let's be realistic here, Lovkvist has no chance in hell of doing anything in the Giro GC, unlike Siutsou.
It's interesting how Rogers isn't just focused on a warmup, but is actually taking it day by day. I'm very interested in what he can do.

Not many sprinters for this Giro.
I know it's cause there is only 2-3 flat stages, but that's really not much :
Hunter, Farrar, Davis, Brown, Cavendish, Renshaw, Swift, Haedo, Förster
Quite weak (except Cav and Farrar)

Its very likely the sprinters jersey will go to a rider who can either get into the breaks and sprint well in a bunch, or perhaps even just to a climber, even if the points gained are heavily balanced towards the flatter days. I count at least 5 (possibly 6) days where a sprint could easily happen btw.  |

Trieste, Milano, Chiavenna, Arenzano, Firenze, Valdobbiadene, yeah, that make 6
But most of these arrival are perfect for a solo win against the bunch in the last kms, the type of thing where Cancellara is a specialist

Useful tip: seldom trust cyclingnews 
That's the original team, they've changed it twice since
