Well someone had to do it
Odessa Gunn made it into the local paper today. The one time winner of the Nature Valley GP now runs an animal rescue society and is wife to a certain other cyclist hmm who could that be.
Also it is supposed to rain for the next week. SO much for my first race of the season

Riccardo Riccò = Richard Rich. so it wasn't much of a stretch to call him Richie Rich
anyway, what you said above is exactly my point, he may be great one day, but right now he should not be the team's leader for the Giro.
then again, he might not be great.
there are a bunch of examples of guys who fail at the grand tours after a few years of trying and start training for the classics, then become great classics riders who suck at the mountains. RebellÃn, for example.

naah, he's aiming for the classics and the tour. not to mention he's not good enough for the mountains of the giro. not yet, at least. he's 23. we'll give him time
not to mention I think Savoldelli beats him in a TT. in a short TT, Savoldelli wins hands down (he'd make a brilliant pursuit rider). in a longer TT, I'd still take Savoldelli, although by a smaller margin

I know that.
Im saying that if he can get 15th in a time trial in real life, beating the likes of Bodrogi, then he should have a better tt stat in game and is therefore underrated.

mazzoleni, horner, casar, Sprick all did more impressive times, but you only mention Wegelius? it's not a grand tour, it's in early may, so not everyone is in form, which leads to a lot of abnormalities, plus the fact that a bad day or good day in a time trial is a good difference.
finally, that time trial (and this is both for you and robert) is classed as a normal TT, but it should really be classed as a mountain time trial as it is extremely hard. cobbled climbs and all.
every year that same TT is the final stage of the tour
