What about Hincapie????

NOW we're talking!!!!! However, even a 6th overall in TA means nothing. He made top 10 a couple of years ago but he's not as good in bigger bunch sprints imo.
Big George is more a man for RVV and P-R....

| Rich, maybe Hincapie has had his win of the season already and will now be on team duties for the rest of season! |

NO way! The Big Guy always has P-R as his main aim for the year and I really believe that this year will be THE year.
the fact I've been saying that since 2000 is immaterial

So is Hammond there to ride for George - or is it the other way around?
Would that make a better Poll?  |

Here's a long shot... Freire to jump the bunch from Boogerd's wheel over the Poggio and hold the peleton off...

He's just said he can't do that: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2005/mar05/mar16news2
I'm still going with Zabel. Us coffin dodgers have to stick up for each other!

crash to involve Petacchi veering into Cipo, and Zabel bopping Freire for last year's faux pas.....
WOuldn't that just make the ideal scenario?

I think Friere will win , petacchi and the other fatties (cipo in mind)will get shelled on the poggio.

I'll go for Freire. Bettini's form isnt great at the minute.
There are also 3 Brits riding - Hammond, Wiggins and Southam. |

| Top ride from Roger, considering he was riding for others he was Discoverys first finisher at 21st, in the same time. |
