Ok, today the team announced the 12 pre-selected riders for the Giro:
Septimiu Berlogea Good, that's the first step, in the 12 pre-selected. Now I have to earn a place in the 9 starters. I think I still can perform well enough to help our team defend the Giro title from last year.
Fabrizio Conti Certo, voglio partecipare. So che le tappe adatte a me saranno pochissime, però anché per una sola tappa vale la pena partecipare.
Omar Fahrny No, don't take the spot for granted, not at all. I know I'll need to continue to progress to get the spot. Goals? I take it step by step, first I have to earn it, then we'll see.
Pramoedya Haryono Yeah, I think I'll be there. If Fabulous comes, I can help him, if he doesn't come, I can be useful for Osamu, Qian, Omar and Shamshi. Maybe even get my own chance one stage.
Frédéric Montandon The Giro.... I think if Fabulous gets selected I'm there for sure, if not, maybe. Just wait and see
Saburo Mori The ape has almost guaranteed me a place, so I think I will be there. Not easy of course all those mountains, but I'm though, recover well, I think I can help Urganov or Fahrny to win it
Qian Baoyu Nr 1 goal will be the GC win, Urganov, Fahrny, one of the 2. Nr 2 a stage for myself. Both of course would be perfect.
Bakhtiyar Sagyrbayuly Not an easy course for somebody like me, that's sure. But I hope to be there, regardless of Fabulous. With him, I'll be happy to ride for him, without I'll go for my own chances on certain stages.
Caius Todea Just signed the contract for next season today, and I get pre selected for the Giro. It's a dream come true! 2 dreams! Now I will just continue training until I join the team next month. If I actually get selected it would be fantastic.
Osamu Uchigasaki Well, 12 riders, I'm one of them. I hoped that the ape would announce the fix riders and a few for the open spots, hoping to be fix, to know for sure. A bit nervous now, yes, I think the Giro actually fits me well, there are a few stages I could have a chance.
Shamshi Urganov I know I haven't fully convinced everybody so far. But I feel I can do very well in this Giro, either as leader, then fight for the win, or in support for Omar, who can win it too.
Wei Dehuai I think I have my chances to be there. The team will need somebody like me in the TTT. Mountains? I don't feel bad in the mountains, I'm much more confortable riding in the mountains and hills that people seem to assume, I might surprise a lot of "experts" in my career.
Most disappointed not to be in the list was Feng Ouyang, who hoped to finish his career with his second Giro participation. He is now thinking about terminating his career immediately, just announced that he didn't feel ready to start tomorrow, he'll be replaced in the line-up for Amstel by his compatriot Wei Dehuai. The 5 other riders, the Ducu-brothers, Fouché, Kusi Leibundgut and Uzielli took it better. We hope Feng will continue riding though, he won't be at the Giro, but we still appreciate is work and knowledge and his retirement would be a huge loss to the team at this point.
Kraftsystemrevision! Include the distance!
Basics reform: Give blue a chance!
Don't punish bugusers. We all have to use bugs, since most of them are declared as "features"!
Got a carrot from FL. But they threaten to take it away now.
), maybe the Cat may join us aswell with his mathematical friends. And maybe some totally new faces!!! Everyone ride this race, go!!
