i will play the 1st stage, which i believe is a 6km prologue, within the next 10 minutes, so the report should be around 30 mins-ish
sorry no video

Piepoli ... Strong ... Are you MAD? He couldnt even get a top 10 last year and now he is worse stats-wise.
As a helper - he's one of the strongest climbers in game

Sella and Pellizotti (especially Pelli) will aim for this race. They are quite bad in the TT, but they are awesome in the mountains and have a great team to suport them: Pedraza, Rodrigues and Bustamante.

the TT doesn't matter, there is only the 6km prologue which i am doing now
btw, Dees is winning
(yes he was the 1st to set off, and no noone else has come through)

The only one who can beat him is Sella
Just kidding. My prediction to this prologue is Brajkovic the winner.

not Andy, i'm thinking of a great climber, with great TT skills, who also performed excellently in this stage
you will have an idea of who i mean in about 10-15mins, but i have to say, this is a class field

sounds like Kloden or Brajkovic, in my opinion. Hopefully the ladder.

It was obvious that wasn't Andy
The part that says good TT skills excludes him

i was talking about Klöden as he has 81MO and 77TT plus 5th in the prologue shows he's on great form
unfortunatley there will be a slight delay due to a couple of riders wanting to ride for France Televisions and none of their riders wanting to race at all
shouldn't be too long
for those who were interested, the top 20 was
1 Michael Rogers FED-EX 5'05
2 David Zabriskie FED-EX + 6
3 David Millar ACCUMALUX + 8
4 William Bonnet AG2R PRÉVOYANCE - RENAULT + 9
5 Andreas Klöden TEAM FLOGAS + 10
6 Vladimir Karpets VIRGIN MEDIA PRO CYCLING TEAM + 11
7 Jean Nuttli ACCUMALUX + 14

9 José Enrique Gutiérrez Cataluña SATURN s.t.
10 Brian Vandborg DISCOVERY CHANNEL PRO CYCLING TEAM s.t.
11 Martin Elmiger TEAM FLOGAS s.t.
12 Damiano Cunego LA GAZETTA DELLO SPORT + 19

we also have to wait confirmation on Crommy's team as his team was missing a couple of riders
hopefully it won't be long though
