second stage race of the season, and second pro tour race of the season.
Personally i'm not too fond of the Tirreno but i'm going to watch the results.
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"

Im going to send Mr Rasmussen for a spin here. Not expecting a win, the mountains are bg enough..
But who knows what might happen - Perhaps one of my least favourite rides of the season. Am sending my Italians there too, to get a lucky home town break of some kind!

Koldo Gil will lead the Accumalux squad, with aid from Manuel Medina, Jorge Giacinti and Mikhail Ignatiev.
A top 5 would be good, it's what I am aiming for, and perhaps a stage win.

I don't know if Di Luca has this race on his schedule, but i think it would be his to lose.

Gazzetta dello Sport will definately be the team to watch out for, even if they only bring 1 of Cunego/Di Luca.

My leaders will be Boogerd and Caruso. It might fit Boogerd pretty well, but I think it's more suited for other riders.

In Tirreno - Adricato you will not see Davis that took a stage win as he's going for Paris - Nice.
The riders you will see is Iban Mayo, Tomas Vaitkus, Sergio Paulinho and others.
Also this is the first race for the newcomer, Alexander Kristoff. |

I am very surprised that Gazzetta dont even have one of their big 2 stars in this race, it was theirs to lose, so now the race is wide open.

3th?  That's a combination!
Gilbert and Ballan will be set to defeat you all!
And Telefonica shouldn't be so sure of themselves.
Dunno what Sella is doin' here anyway? Look at the route... |

Piepoli is my man here - he'll probably not win, but stage win should be on the cards
