Leipheimer and Di Luca look reasonable odds. Basso doesn't.

And Soler at 26! That's incredible odds...

I have a feeling that Basso will be the one to beat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Basso

Wonder if Menchov might have a bit of good luck this season? Leipheimer looks overrated to me.

 

[chfp77]

Could have got 10's on Levi last week on betfair. Wish i'd backed him then!! Who's everyones pick for the team TT?

 

[andy_wrx]

Are Astana actually doing the Giro then, has the team not gone broke and folded ?

 

[Keith Oates]

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[John the Monkey]

There is talk of the Giro being their last race unless someone steps in.

Further talk of salaries not being paid, and of the $2m bond that guarantees rider salaries not having reached the UCI yet.
