Default Simoni talking it up - can he win the Giro ?

Gibo is talking it up saying that he will bust balls and take DiLuca in the Giro and that Cuengo is a piece of shit.... I think actually think in a dope free Giro he can win.... like I mean who else is there ?

I really hope so WBT. I stood and cheered Gibo on up the Mortirolo two years ago and was sickened when ET the man "who never doped" beat him. Last year I had to sit through the Teflon Killer's "amazing" climbing display. Is there a link to the article you quote from? When Gibo talks it always makes for an entertaining read.

Me as well. Gibo loves bikes, loves riding and hates bullshit. The article is from the Gazzetta Dello Sport kindly translated to a half inebriated WBT by a waiter at a winebar in Carnaby St !

On another note.... Rolfrae are you doing the etape this year ?

Carnaby Street's a bit far for me to go. Not doing the Etape, not doing much cycling right now as I've got a knee injury. Last time I had it I had to take 6 months off the bike - just in time for the summer!

Poor bastard. Why didn't you try the Mazzino method on that knee ? Fuentes just kept injecting pain killers and cortisone until he couldn't feel it anymore.... he then went on to ride the Tour.... he would have finished if they gave him the the correct blood transfusion.... later seen writing on the ground claiming he was a 12th century war druid....... I'm going to give it a crack........ I just wish it would stop raining in this farking country..... how can anyone ride a bike here ?

If Tyler can ride with a broken collarbone and Floyd can ride without a hip socket then I can ride with a bursitis, right? I'll get on the phone to Fuentes.
I'm thinking of going compact (ssh...don't tell anyone) so I can have some easier gears - there's no shame, spinning at higher cadences won Lance 7 Tours, right?

Yeah, it's an absolute disgrace when one athlete uses a highly structured doping program with all the new techniques and gear then proceeds to beat all the other humble athletes who are merely using all the drugs they can get their hands on. I mean in this day and age why should a cyclist be forced to use a less than top standard doping program?

I want (as ever) Savoldelli to win the Giro this year... so I hope Di Luca blows completely on the first mountain stage and that puts Il Falco into the position of team leader at LPR. Still, that would mean Gibo also beats Di Luca, and I think the guy has the consistency to finish ahead of Cunego again this year. Win it? Quite possibly yes, although his team support won't be as good as it has been in previous years, which could cause problems.

Cunego's not riding - he's doing the Tour this year. I agree that the Savo/DiLuca combo could be hard to beat. Gibo needs to avoid losing time so early on as he did last year.

Does anyone know much about Vincenzo Nibali? He won the Giro del Trentino ahead of Garzelli and Simoni

http://www.cyclingnews.com/road.php...o08/trentino084

He also did quite well in the LBL considering he only had a day in, between finishing 10th just behind Bettini. Last year Nibali finished about 30th in the Giro but was riding for Di Luca. I think he may be team captain now in the Giro?
