Main reason gravel? Weird, a guy with 87 flat should be there for general safety anyway... I rode in the Meldrum group from the start, and in the one with Bright too. Just took breaks in both groups here and there. Flat out Novelli, better use him in the climbs and downhills. Sometimes was late with...

Look what we found: TEAM FL - Kämpfer, Dürr, now Schmarotz, will you finally get your sprinters win at the Giro this year? Well, I hope so, but it will be hard. Schmarotz is the only real Sprinter in the peloton. Of course Team FL will try - Today the first chance to get a sprint. Confident you will...

Chassot, finally. Good, good, was worth it coming here as sprinter team with the best climber already. Of course 2 wins would be better than 1, 3 better than 2, 4 better than 3, 5 not possible anymore I think.... but 1 is ok. We're more excited for sprints than mountains somehow this Giro. Maybe bec...

Hm, again Natanzon... -1 this time clearly didn't help, but beaten that badly again, Chassot is going Marquez' way, losing all self-confidence. Next chance today, after that there's a bit of a sprint reset, next sprint stage in a week, new form, etc. Chassot of course doesn't want to wait till then,...

And we disagree with FL on Mosconi's ciclamino chances. While he does possibly have some favorable terrain, a) holding alone, even if Attabay (hope right spelling) is there is not easy. b) Quite a mass of stronger sprinters. So when the whole mass is there, he will lose points to quite a few guys ea...

We want Donkey-wins!

We think Mosconi sucks!

I don't get point 2, and how that's relevant to your original point 2 2) Do we have a sprint commitment? I think that 4 sprinter teams can handle such a stage. I really don't see many guys attacking today, but we will see. The +6 makes it complicated and I can help out if it is needed even if there...

No Garcia?

Chassot winning Sanremo, then riding 5 or so races in April? He deserves to be there. Lorenzini planned anyway. 4 non riders too many.
Plus don't see how I can challenge you even with 2 climbers, 1 is enough.

Lots of BS! 2) Babai has no reg. He would be the perfect sprinter as with 70 flat he has very good chances getting the wheels he want Natanzon 70, Chassot 68, Smith 66, Lorenzini 73... that's 4 guys that would make Babai's wheel choice more complicated. 66-90 vs 70-88, 68-89 vs 70-88, not sure how t...

Damn, Garcia just won the coin-toss. Made it best of 3 then, he still won, 3-1.
He's angry.

Woldemariam. Decided to make a coin-toss, forgot it and left it at Woldemariam. Probably makes more sense, without him I weaken my sprint work team too much. In mountain stages having 2 options would have been nice though. Biggish group with Costigan for the GPMs, caught soon by AAD. Next 2 Credit P...

10? We want 15!

And Allrad, what's up with Allrad?

Smith looks highly cheapened. So would have been there most likely 1 day later. And then you could have sold Oz simply 1 day later! Ah, Smith form, see the problem.... Oz? Of course nobody rode with him during Romandie. He wants the GPM, so let him ride. Giro might have been different, longer race, ...

You heartless bastard sold Oz 1 day before he would have retired in your team? Pff

Anyway, you need reg, so Costigan.

Marxer is angry, buying Smith. Marxer would have been perfectly fine in the Giro, sprint stages will be much slower than in 1 day races.

We want MORE people

One Donkey can deal with at least 15 humans...

April Not a good month. 10th place in D1 with 11'104 points. 2 wins. A fantasy race by Chassot and a Romandie stage by Marquez. Classics? Bad. Scheldeprijs: 30. Blake. But probably there was a sprint issue that day? Lorenzini 40.? Or I forgot to sprint? Not good, might have been better to bring Cha...

Time to take action for the constant unfair behaviour of Alkworld!

There's a million reasons, I'll refrain from posting them all, but think a 2 year ban starting immediately is in order.

Your decision, your decision.

Actually stage 9 that climb to me seems a bigger issue than the gravel stage almost, would prioritize that... unless we're putting stuff up from tomorrow anyway, which looks likely.

Stage 2: Mintact either at 104 or 118 or 134. Stage 4: Longer mintact. 190 km stage. The longer the stage, the longer the mintact makes sense. More on that later Stage 6: First 2 sectors together 9.2 km, why make it 10? Ok, one in the middle at * to compensate? Then I'm not completely convinced by t...

The Donkey will have comments too, wait a minute, especially Tukh if he's around.... so check again later, might take time...

Thought it's better to have this in a separate thread, not buried in the May 24 calendar preview. Could have gone in the other thread where I wrote long posts about what should be done, but ok, a second one maybe better?

Segue una breve discesa, e la salita finale composta dal Passo di Eira in cima al quale si segue una strada (asfaltata) che risale la pista del Mottolino.
