Not sure what the long range forecast is, but if the weathers bad Gadrets chances will increase. Having said that he didn't look that good on the last climb in Romandie did he ?

No, but maybe he was just testing himself a bit, and everything will slot into place next week. When's the first mountain stage? I've not had time to look at the route yet.

stage 7 is listed as medium mountains, as is stage 8...so plenty time for the climbers to find their legs

Maybe, I wasn't as convinced as I was with Rolands' little test though.

I see that Ben "Swifty" Swift is out of the Giro. No idea why, cannae be bothered reading beyond the headline...

Anyway, my "wild card" for making a name for himself is Eros Capecchi, which will more than likely mean he'll crash early on and withdraw in the first week.

I'd like to see Pinotti do well again and Peter Velits might do something again.

I'd like to see Cav do well in the first week, but so far this year something seems to be missing in his performances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
