Giro picks

I'm going with an all-Italian podium:
/

Filippo Pozzato

Michele Scarponi

Damiano Cunego

/

I'm not sold on Wiggins as a true team leader, Vino isn't good for more than a couple of days (without dope), and Evans will head backward during the last week.

I'm riding Stage 14 to Asolo- the day before the PROs, of course. Monte Grappa can't be that much harder than say... Crooked Rd. out of Parkville, can it???

Wow, two great American holidays, back to back! First, Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you) and then Cinco de Mayo. Fellow Crackanooner Will and I rode down to El Plaza via Southwest Blvd. yesterday afternoon. Boy Howdy! That joint was jumpin' like a fresh can of Mexican Jumping Beans! We latched onto the Spin Pizza ride and then drank Spin out of Mighty Arrow before heading to Sol for more Mexican madness. A final stop at Harry's was enough to set me up for the ride home. Finally got home at 11:30 after 7 hours on the bike (and in bars). Yeah, I think I'm ready for the Giro.
