    Stage 12 - Savoldeli. I've got the correct profile for the stage this time - plenty of downhill towards the end... Can't believe I didn't back Petacchi for Stage 11!!!!

    Stage 13 - Cunego will wipe the floor with Simoni.. I hope!!!

    Stage 14 - Bettini (assuming no damage from today's fall)

  • Stage 12: Cunego

    If he's ever to put down a marker for this Giro, it's tomorrow.

    Stage 12: Gibo

    This is the first stage with more than one huge climb, so we may see some true reflection of who are the strongest riders. I can see DDL struggling, and hopefully Saunier Duval will get things going right from the start of the Izoard.

    Hi folks.

    Stage 12: Paulo Savoldelli

    I think Il Falco would have had an asterix next to this one ever since he saw the profile at the race presentation last year. Let's hope that RAI have hired Valentino Rossi to ride the camera moto.

    Cheers, Andy

    Stage 12: Simoni

    Ok. Savoldelli sure he can sweep but he has to fly high first.

    Today looks like it has Saunier Duval written over it with Simoni, Piepoli and Mayo drawing straws for the win.[^]

    he likes the longer climbs, and so i think he can put enough into
    savoldelli to avoid any swoopage.

  • Stage 12 - Savo.

    Did you get planning permission for that sense of humour bypass?
  • stage 12: savoldelli

    He has obviously been saving himself for this one.

    Stage 12 - Di Luca
  • Hope I'm not too late for today's pick:

    Stage 12: Emanuele Sella
    Stage 13: Damiano Cunego
    Stage 14: David Canada
    Stage 15: Gilberto Simoni (Hopefully with Cunego just behind him otherwise my overall pick will be buggered!)

    Stage 13 - Andy Schleck

    I don't know if he can do or not, but today he impressed me. My thinking is he didn't want to go all out attack today, he just wanted to keep alongside Gibo and DDL - I have this suspiscion he had something in reserve. Tomorrow will prove me wrong, but hey-ho!!

    Herd of gnus?

    No! What's the news?
