He was clearly soft-pedalling at Trentino. The fact that he was 8th at L-B-L is enough to see he's getting in shape when it matters.
Exactly. That is why I'm not really tipping Pozzovivo, who hit his form too early. Though I still think he could do a solid top 10.

Here's what I think:
1. Michele Scarponi
2. Ivan Basso
3. Roman Kreuziger
4. Jose Rujano
5. Frank Schleck
6. Ryder Hesjedal
7. John Gadret
8. Joaquim Rodriguez
9. Michele Nieve
10. Rigoberto Uran
Hesjedal will be the big suprise, with Schleck getting a good result here also. Cav will dominate the sprints, with Farrar winning 1 or 2 stages. Goss will totally fail and never even get a top 5 on a stage. Bennati will be a surprise and win a stage. Rujano will get a couple stage wins and win the KoM, but he will loose too much time in the TT's and he will have a bad day in the mountains where he will lose a couple of minutes. |

I think the Team Time Trial on the last Stage is kind of insane. With such a hard Race it could happend that some Teams have on the last day only 5 Riders. It would be intesresting to see wich Team is on the last Stage complete.
BMC has maybe the best Team for those 2 TTT.

It's an individual time trial.
EDIT: Too slow.

In the link I post from the Gazzetta website it says Sun 27/05/2012 Milano - Milano 30,1 TEAM TIME TRIAL
U would have seen the mistake, if u had taken the time to opend the link.
kumazan and beagle thanks for the info. Now it makes sense. |

TTT can only be held in the first week (maybe even the first 5 days) of a race anyway, so that couldn't happen with the current state of rules.
Too bad, if you ask me, although I admit it makes sense. |

I obviously did open it.
I just meant that it says "Individual time trial" in the upper bar, if you go right all the way to the final stage. A small misunderstanding.
