Laurent Fignon - Giro
Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the Giro, 2016, starting in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands and finishing in Torino, Italy. Here is a provisional start list. The riders make the race so it should be fantastic racing, a race up the whole of the country, for three weeks, what’s not to love? The Giro usually has a crazy stage and we are unsure what this year’s edition holds in that category, maybe more racing at night, or on dirt, bring it on. The Shark, Landa, Malmerde, Uran Uran, even Red Ryder, and more, each have a decent shot at the over all.
We all know the drill, this race starts on Friday so keep your delgado monkey on a tight leash. Consult your personal oracles; there are bike frames, carbon wheels, V-kit and more for the winners of the season-long overall VSP. Further details can be found on the VSP page. Bon chance.

I think the last time we saw someone looking that rock-solid going uphill was Wiggo in Tour of California 2 years ago. Looked like he was paralysed from the waist up.
Swapping Landa for Chaves and Dumoulin for Kruijswijk. Which I am sure will bring me to a negative total score but we will ask Dutch professors to explain how that works in a TED talk.

So I can't make any swaps because a swap was apparently recorded on the first rest day. Bummer, coz I didn't actually swap any riders, nor the order, and I'm happy with my picks apart from the absent Landa, and would have swapped him for Kruijswijk.

Scratch that. Oops, there it is. The front page said I wasn't eligible, but when I scrolled down it was open.
Swapping Mr K for Landa - would have been interesting to see how Mikel L went if he was well...Sky and Plan B!

Yeah, you have to also make sure you are signed in. If not, it'll give you the message "not eligible to make swap".

Ahh, good to see Gazprom riding so strongly! I'm sure they've made Putin happy. There was an NY Times story two weeks ago on a doctor who was behind the Olympic performance boosting. Two of the dudes colleagues...have turned up dead. Yikes.
Going to be very, very interesting to see how Krooziewick handles this final week.
