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.

Makes me want to sell my Bianco on Craigslist just for being related to that abomination. The 80's called and even the 80's hate that bike.
Wow - what a stage. Two weeks in and the Maglia Rosa is sprinting for a stage win and almost getting it. Kruisjwijk seems like the real deal.
@Erik
Bianchi. Damn you autocorrect.
Looks like Malmerde has done his own version of the rest day swap. Cunt.
Wait for it people, Nibali just had a bad day! I predict a day-long break-away ala Floyd Landis, complete with subsequent dope test fail.
Skip takes the lead after a crazy stage!
To all Velominati,
Whatever deity you might subscribe to (other than the true Prophet), get on your knees and pray that Malmerde doesn't win the Giro. There's just something not right about the way he's riding so strongly. C'mon the Bob deLux and Stevie "Shoulderpads" Kruijswijk! As for Nibbles, he's about to become Aru's bitch.
Here go my picks......
never swap a losing team, that's my motto
@Teocalli
Yup, that's been how my VSP season has gone from the very beginning.
@wiscot
So, something "not right" about Piti, who's been at the top for a decade, riding "strongly", but no suspicion of Kruiswijk covering attacks, time trialing, riding like he's never ridden before?
