No they seem to have got it sorted these last few years after the debacle that was Madrid.
Basso's a strange one, it must be a lumpy course, although he'll probably only be s super domestique.0 -
Two Puerto heads. I see all is forgiven with Scarponi too.
Not entirely sure about the chiefs to indians ration though.It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.0 -

They did all right last year.Gasping - but somehow still alive !0 -
It's Cunego's to lose I feel, especially if he does the smart thing and lose enoguh time on the Vuelta GC for his sponsors to not mind him leaving early...
Quality sentance there....Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.0 -
Is anyone actually going to watch this?
I mean - heading out to Mendrisio and seeing it live?
I've booked flights and a hostel in Menaggio, on the west coast of Lake Como - should be ~30mile ride to Mendrisio.
Might start a new thread...?!
Doubt very much the Italians will manage to work together, but worry that a few of the nations will work hard to box in Wiggins etc. Could end up a bit like the Beijing Madison...Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...0 -

The main difference being, Wiggo was odds-on favourite for the Olympic madison, but will be a 100/1 shot for the Worlds RR.
Every single person in the Italian squad - possibly with the exception of Bruseghin - has a better chance than Wiggins. 4th in the Tour is impressive and all that, but how many races in his road career has he ever won?0 -

Cool beans samb01,
I had arranged to be in Croatia that week with friends, but they all got flakey, I still had the time off work already, so I thought "sod it", found a hostel, found some flights, so I'll take my bike and have a week round and about Como.
Will be my first "big" race - managed to catch the prologue of the Tour du Romandie last year in Geneva - but I was working in Basel at the time, it was a Swiss bank holiday, and work gave us a travel allowance - seemed rude not to!Cannondale Synapse 105, Giant Defy 3, Giant Omnium, Giant Trance X2, EMC R1.0, Ridgeback Platinum, On One Il Pompino...0 -
Will be my first live pro race period (not counting last months Oslo Grand Prix criterium). Very much looking forward to the experience, but I'm certainly not expecting to have a better view than on television
I envy you that biking vacation. Even though I've been a cycling geek for years now, I only just recently bought my first road bike (I've had three commuters stolen, so I had kinda decided I'd had it with bikes), so I do plan on taking similar vacations in the years to come. France during july next year is very much on the agenda.0
