GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO GIRO GIBO
you see the two words are like 1 Gibo is meant to win the Giro whereas Piepoli doesn't go
GIRO PIEPOLI GIRO PIEPOLI GIRO PIEPOLI GIRO PIEPOLI GIRO PIEPOLI GIRO PIEPOLI
it doesn't go at all, so based on this thorough evidence and experimentation Gibo will win
v. nice presentation once more Crommy

I reckon any of the 5 I mention could win it - they all have strengths, and they all have weaknesses

I was running out of room. Sorry 
And I don't think he's too old, it's just this will probably be his last season up there, so lot's of people may think he's over his prime

don't worry very nice presentation
be good to see results of the Grand Tour which i like most, (most exciting over mountians, i mean the TdF is excellent but runs on more prestige)
will you be playing the stages or Alex or Sporting as i know you and Alex are experiencing problems

This Giro can go many ways, I can see it now.
DSC predictions:
Bettini for top 15 in GC
Hushovd for Maglia Ciclamino
Giro predictions:
GC: Danilo Di Luca
Sprint: Robbie McEwen
Climbing: Leonardo Piepoli
Youngster: Andy Schleck
Team predictions:
1st Astana
2nd Liquigas
3rd Saunier Duval
4th Lampre
5th Caisse
Best in sprints: QuickStep - Innergetic
Best in climbing: Saunier Duval
Best with youngsters: Liquigas
It could happen, right?
It could end up in a completely another way, but.. I'm trusting this one.

I get to play all 21 stages, as Im the only person who can play stage racxes at the mo. 
My predictions?
GC: Leonardo Piepoli (Well I can't say anyone else, can I?)
Points: Robbie McEwen
KoM: I dont have a clue, i don't think it will be Piepoli though. I'll say Simoni to keep Addy happy.
Youngster: Who else but Schleck?
Oh and can someone explain how the superteam system works?

I think its a points system for the top 20 each stage. 1st gets 20 for their team, 2nd gets 19, all the way down to 20th getting 1.
I will be using the super team system for the Giro (Aswell as normal team system)

I have strong hopes for a Petacchi win and a top 10 for kirchen. I also feel that we may be a threat in the Team table since we have quite a few capable riders with us.
But not out first priority this tour. For that you will have to wait for tour De Farce!

sorry but either you haven't entered Petacchi or Crommy doesn't know you have, and he's completley forgotten, as he isn't in the fav. sprinters or you're team description

T-Mobile's best sprinter in the Giro is Gerald Ciolek. Petacchi is not riding.
