B
In the Giro d'Iran:
B. Kristol will begin the race declaring he is "super motivated."
D. Rumsfeld will be strong in the opening week, but be undone
by his insistence on starting the race with only three racers
on his team and not carrying any spare wheels in the team car.
M. Ahmedinejad will be sanctioned by the comissaires
every day for illegal equipment, but just use this to whip
up his loyal tifosi.
In the end, nobody will win.
In the other race in Italy, I'll go not very far out on a limb
and pick Basso. The mountains look very hard; but some
of the climbers like Simoni and Cunego might lose a chunk
of time in the TTT. I wonder who will end up in the points
jersey, since many of the big name sprinters are likely
to pull out. It could be a second tier sprinter, or maybe
Cunego if he wins some stages that end in a small
group of leaders.
