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.

  7. sweet jaysus. Not much joy so far in VSP. Already delgado’d once.

    1. Malmerde
    2. Nibbles
    3. Uran
    4. Majka
    5. Pozzivovo

  10. I think Nibali will have been focussed on this one. I think he’s most likely to do it. But what the hell do I know?

  15. This is going to claw back some points for my VSP campaign, or more likely nail down the lid on the coffin. I’ve now taken to picking entirely with my head, and ignoring my heart, as that seems to get the best results.

    Bloody hell this is a good field! I’ve just spent half an hour trying to fit six riders onto the podium!

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Uran
    2. Nibali
    3. Majka
    4. Chaves
    5. Landa

  18. Hmm… the system seems not to be saving my picks, so I’m not sure if they’ve been mapped. They were published in the previous post though.

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Uran
    2. Nibali
    3. Majka
    4. Chaves
    5. Landa

  19. Cant forgive Nibali for forgetting the motor goes inside the frame,

  22. Well. This one is going to be interesting.

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Nibali
    2. Uran
    3. Hesjedal
    4. Landa
    5. Majka

  23. I’m concerned that leaving out Valverde and Ilnur Zakarin off the list will hurt me later. Zakarin could be the future.

  24. Nibbles is a strange bird, he’ll be in good shape, I suspect.

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Nibali
    2. Landa
    3. Valverde
    4. Zakarin

  32. Just because Two Windmills is a bit obscure, Im just clarfying my picks.

    Dumoulin? No?

  36. In other news…the VMH gave birth to our first baby boy last Thursday night. Let the breeding and blimping commence!

    22:29 EST on 4-28-16 and our house number is 824. 8 pounds, 53 cms long. Pretty crazy to have a little guy who needs to be fed every 3 hours. Life just got a whole lot more interesting. And busy.

    VSP PICKS:

    1. Nibali
    2. Landa
    3. Valverde
    4. Dumoulin
    5. Uran

  38. Did no one read the news before their picks? Fabs is sick, so probably not winning the prologue and Dumolin states he is not targeting the GC only the TT stages.
