Pepsi and Coca-Cola are the same thing.
Seriously, either Basso will win or it will be an unpredictable race.
that happening would be really great but I won't thing it's likely..
and unless leipheimer's form drops too quickly I would add him to that Basso's prediction

Who don't want a unpredictable race? Look at the 07 Tour. Everything happened there including a chicken on epo. Thats not something you see in other sports. |

And the final list of invited teams is revealed. So we had 20 teams, and there were to be 2 more....
Well guess what....they changed their minds. It'll be 21 teams. The 20 previously announced plus Barloworld
EDIT: And the epic stage 10 will have to be modified. The organisers couldn't get a permission to close off traffic on the descent of the Col de Larche.

God descends to Earth
After Lance Armstrong asked what he could do for the population after the earthquake in Abruzzo (where Italy has refused the help of foreign countries), Giro director Angelo Zomegnan answered: " Your presence in the Centenary Giro will represent one moment of joy, in particular in the zone close to the earthquake."
An appointment is made for the 17th stage from Chieti to the summit finish at Blockhaus.
Along with the race are programmed the distribution of holy images, affixing of the hands to cure the paralytic ones, and walking on water.
With his magic wand, Lance Armstrong will be able to stop the cracks in the walls. The great druid Ferrarix could even bring his magic potion for the masons of the rebuilding.

I wonder if they left one spot open in case of Fuji Servetto appealing.

I hope that. Because Fredrik Kessiakoff is a great rider. Even if I dont like the team I would be thrilld to see what Fredrik Kessiakoff can do in the big mountains. |

I'm kind of outdated. Damn work... So did they finally invited Barloword? If that is the case, great. Go, Soler! |

then a dream-line-up for the Tour could be with Armstrong, Contador, Leipheimer, Popovych, Kloden, Zubeldia
And yes I don't think that Kazah sponsors will be to happy if some of their riders won't be in the Tour.

With Zomegnan involved, I don't think there's any danger of the testers being able to find anything |
