Its not my money but I wouldnt go to the bookies with any of this.

Me neither…😅. Just sometimes the real unexpected can happen. Im steering away from the favourites and going for the long shot. At least I’ve thrown my hat into the ring. History has shown us that even a Yankee can come to Italy and upset the norm.🤓

Come on, how can you throw your hat in the ring without money in it.... What is this? Kindergarten.

here you lay your balls on the biltong cutter and take your losses like a man

Okay will check if Betway can assist my balls. 😂😂😂

The other Yates bro leads Jumbo' - interesting performance challenge

Will Primoz's TT make the difference between the maglia rosa and #2 on then podium? Likely.

52 something thousand meters of vert planned - will snow-covered passes impact the race? Probably.

speaking of bookies, here are the current odds. I count a few actual grand tour winners here, many way way down the order. Maybe this is the time to find out if Bernal has been trolling us (his juicy contract is up next year)

This will hopefully be a great and entertaining Giro considering how well open it will be! 
Can’t wait!!

Landa at 5 🤣

 

Okes below must feel offended

Albania: Durazzo to Tirana

Juicy first stage, shorter than usual, punchy business. It'll be one helluva contest. The stage winner earns the right to wear a cool Maglia Rosa speedsuit for the stage 2 TT.

I would put Landa next 1 or 2 to some but above all the other riders below him.

Slightly off-topic, but I can clearly remember the VUELTA edition where you told us "Check this Pogacar kid, he is going places...."

Do you have any young riders that you think we should keep an eye on?

[Eugene Oppelt]

Really want this racer to do well, hey.

One more slapie.

In General or at this Giro?

I’m going to watch him closely now…🤓✅

You guys are all clueless. This race is Derek Gee's to lose.

 

edit: just seen @Shebeen's list of odds further up and he's actually got half  decent odds! I wasn't really being serious, but at the same time there's nothing I'd rather see than him win.
