    80% chance of rain according to Steephill, so suffer fetishists may get their dream of a 2010 Giro re-run.

    This race really needs to be WT - always looks great.

    Wet weather could really mix it up tho - you'd have to think Stybar and Sagan would rule the roost is the white roads turn grey? Valverde got stuck in last yr but would presumably be less at home in those conditions?

    hmmm, he's a bit all or nothing though. For PTP you need someone who's as likely to come 2nd or 3rd as 1st regardless of how the race plays out...

    General PTP rule: If in doubt pick someone who did well in the race last year.

  • My in laws are visiting. 4 hours in glorious Sporza HD is about as much use to me as a brand new set of golf clubs

    1245 - 1500 on the Strade Bianchi channel which presumably means it's the race feed sans commentaire

    Eurosport Player is subscription only yes?
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
