My Italian's not so hot. He's waving goodbye to Rock but I read on CN he's trying to sign on with Tinkoff to ride MSR instead?

Tuesday March 18, 2008 - Mario Cipollini intervenes directly with an official to clarify once and for all his position on the eventual participation in the Milan-San Remo on Saturday next for which would go looking for a team.
Di seguito il comunicato integrale scritto dell’ex campione del mondo toscano e inviato alla Gazzetta dello Sport:
Below is the text written informed of world champion Tuscan and sent to the Gazzetta dello Sport:

In relazione al mio rapporto professionale con la società americana Rock Racing, Vi informo che, purtroppo, ho dovuto, mio malgrado, risolvere la collaborazione intrapresa da qualche mese.
"In relation to my professional relationship with American society Rock Racing, I tell you that, unfortunately, I had my will, resolve cooperation undertaken by a few months.
Il programma di poter disputare la Milano Sanremo aveva un significato se collegato al più ampio progetto di costruzione e gestione di un nuovo team, che nella pratica, nonostante gli accordi contrattuali, è venuto meno per responsabilità a me non riferibili.
The program can disputare Milan San Remo had a meaning if connected to the broader project of constructing and operating a new team, which in practice, despite the contractual agreement, has failed responsibility for not referring to me.
D’altro canto il mio rientro alle competizioni era strumentale al più ampio disegno di costruire un “dream team”.
On the other hand, my return to competition was instrumental to the broader plan to build a "dream team".
Sono dispiaciuto, ma al contempo riconoscente e grato a tutti quanti in questi mesi mi hanno dimostrato affetto, sostegno e calore.
I am sorry, but at the same time grateful and thankful to all those who in recent months have shown me affection, support and warmth.
Desidero, comunque, ringraziare Angelo Zomegnan per l’opportunità offertami.
I would like, however, to thank Angelo Zomegnan for the opportunity.
Smentisco l’indiscrezione circa una mia presunta ed eventuale partecipazione alla Milano-Sanremo con altre squadre, anche perché, come detto in precedenza, avrebbe avuto un senso collegata al più ampio progetto gestionale.
Deny the indiscretion about my alleged and possible participation in the Milan-San Remo with other teams, not least because, as mentioned earlier, had a feeling connected to the wider project management.
La mia carriera quale ciclista l’ho conclusa nel 2005
My career as cyclist I finished in 2005 "
Con la consueta stima, Mario Cipollini
With the usual estimate, Mario Cipollini

If a bunch sprint happens - Freire is the man

Breakaway - Rebellin or Cancellara

Pozzato is a good chance too.

Now that Cipo's not riding I get to pick someone else. Thor Hushovd looked really strong on the climbs in Paris Nice but didn't look so strong in the sprints...still I'll go for him seeing as no one else has. Got to have a reason.
