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.

Sorry Teo, It was destiny. And shark fin soup.
@xyxax
Well I've got 3 out of 5 but only Majka in the correct place. Could be worse.
@Teocalli
That's a minor NITRO and shit luck. You'll knock the TdF out.
Fuck the world!!! Nibbles!!!
Gutted to see the little fella lose pink, but chapeau to Nibbles, he took back something like 2.5 minutes in the last 2 stages.

I was gutted too, but no great surprise. He's had an amazing race, especially given the lack of support in the mountains. Nibali was awesome and Astana were super organised. I look forward to watching Chaves get better and better over the coming years.
Really disappointed Chaves couldn't hold on. If he could have latched onto Uran and Valverde he might have saved it.
Nothing against Nibali winning per se but seeing that c**t Vinokourov makes me feel sick.
Imagine Chaves with a Yates or 2 Yates' helping him in the mountains!
Nibali was amazing and saved his best at the last.
That stage was utterly compelling. Chaves' day will come but that was a masterful display from Nibali, and loathe as I am to say it tactically brilliant by Astana. We'll be talking about this on these pages in 30 years time!
Well that was quite a Giro, innit! Can't say that was a boring race, in fact it's been riveting from start to the final climb - what will today hold?
