Dear WBT,
I know that Stefano has named his son Marco, but I had not read anywhere of this dedication. I wondered of course if it was the case. Where did you read about this dedication? If you remember.
On Garzelli's finish in last years giro, I think the thread initiator has an error. Garzelli was constrained to drop out due to injuries incurred in a pileup. He did try the following two stages to continue, but found he could not get the push on the pedals due to back pain. In any event his year was a flop, by his standards and obviously that of liquigas. He failed to win a stage at tdf, or make the top 10 in gc. His early season was conditioned with influenza and thus provided little useful results. He won a race and finished second in another, in post tdf sason, and did provide some modest support to DiLuca at various points, but that was all.
