GIRO GC FAVOURITES

 

Basso about 26 ahead of Scarponi and 3 secs behind the sharp-looking Kreuziger after 3 stages.

 

C'mon, Leaky Gas - kick azzzz in the Team Time Trial tomorrow.

Always exciting to watch.

Sigh of relieve - so maybe there is still hope. As much as I like Basso maybe they should let him go and concentrate all their efforts on keeping Nibali seeing as Basso does not have to much time left.

My guess, Nickc, is that it is a courtesy to the team, out of respect.

500 000 Euros is a big difference in salary. BMC and Astana reportedly offer that much more for 2013.

 

But, hey, let's hope.

Ma man Basso held up well today after a testing parcourse.

 

Hope his relaxed demeanour here with fans means he is in solid shape.

Sagan has skillz. Gonna be seeing lots of those salutes.

Yeah, there are many doubters about Ivan The Terrible's form in this Giro 2012.

 

“I had my doubts too!” he told VeloNews while his hair dried. “They’re erased after this first week. I feel OK and I’m happy.”

Sagan still not sharing the podium women with any other rider.

Liquigas-Cannondale really sizzling in Tour Of Cali.

GC contender, Nibs, staying in the shadows out of sight.

Sagan gets number 5 in Tour of California.

 

and to make things worse for the Peleton another Sagan is on the way up, according to the Phil and Paul show even faster than Peter!!

 

Meet the younger of the Sagan brothers - also on Team Leaky Gas.

5/8 stage wins for Sagan the Spectacular.

 

Yeah, nickc, his boetie is coming up in the ranks.

Great proactive signing up there by Leaky Gas.
