gearing tough to get wrong, they should get a full lower cluster. Choosing the big and small front ring will only give them minute differences in the gear ratio.Eldrack said:I get this suspicious feeling that given how bad the weather has been the Steratto section at the end of this climb is going to be very very messy indeed. Get your gearing selection wrong, get your equipment choice wrong, have some bad luck and I think you could loose a lot of time very quickly. Given how steep the section is anyone who has to stop for a bike or wheel change is going to find it hard to get their rhythm going again.
mtn tts favour chrono riders who go uphill well.Bikeridindude said:3 in a row for sella! If not him, then Rujano!
you don't like Vandenbroeck and Nibali's chances Italiano, o' wise one of Italian genes.italiano said:This crono geografi have not many sharp, velocity killing twists…it favour tt specialist with constant, hi output…power vibration not good here… much sit/stand..sit/stand not good in this mountains
who is 420 watt…? Who is 66kg….?…who is steady rider sitting in seat?
Not Di Luca…not Sella (pun not special: sella=seat) …
Menchov win probable….good chance in Brusegnin, Contador (in spite his style) , AK, Simoni.
Paolo before Vincenzo before Danilo before Riccardo….(insert c-size smile)thunder said:you don't like Vandenbroeck and Nibali's chances Italiano, o' wise one of Italian genes.

Seriously, Nibali good for top 10...Vincenzo pacing may suffer…he start to fast to often….to Italian (insert big-big smile)...I like Nibali...VDB I not know much about...he puzzles me...LL farked...Kloeden will want win to find contract after Astana...
Astana stupid…only idiot come to Italy w/o Italians riders…they let Paolo out… stupid ….thunder said:so are they doped up, the Astana boyz?
gimme some of the wise words of Italiano.
Vandenbroeck will do well. Top 10 for sure. Probably top 5.
