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.

You know Landa's been out for days, right?
@piwakawaka
Ah! That must be it, reading 'with corresponding penalties' as 'without corresponding penalties' would explain it. I can't even use the 'I'm not Dutch' excuse.
Mmmm
VSP PICKS (2nd Rest Day Swaps):
I'll try to salvage something by subtracting a Landa and adding a Chaves.
Is Uran the biggest disappointment of the Giro? Quickstep must be thankful that Cannondale
took him off their hands.

@Oli
yep, picked him and Tom one and two from the start, willing to spend 10 penalties with the chance of 10 points but to swap Landa costs another 10 penalties for a possible net 5 points so have to leave him.

@BarTapeMummy
yeah, they used to allow a 24hr window after a rider pulled out to swap them at no penalty. Think it nearly broke @Frank trying to keep up with all the changes.
@piwakawaka
Ah, right. That would explain it. Sorry, I'm not good in these situations.
@Bianchi Denti
Uran is a big disappointment in general. He must be one of the most hyped riders for no results ever.
