Velominati Super Prestige: Giro d’Italia 2016

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.

  • And here's my maglia rosa for the Eroica in Limburg, the Netherlands (Dumoulin's and my former home turf) that I could not post from my cellphone yesterday.

     

  • Anyway, doesn't matter who you pick, the corners at about 7-5km on Stage 3 will decimate the peloton. Tight narrow city corners with walls on the outside, just outside the 3km "safety" line? Going to be brutal!
