Fantasy Giro d' Italia

[Dayvo]

Soler was a star wasn't he? I hope George limits how many people can pick him this year, and that all other CCers manage to get him in their teams....

Yeah, right. There's no way you're going to pick him after his later debacles. And nor am I!

 

[Dayvo]

Mind you, people who choose with either are going for exciting climbing talent SOLER in this year's Giro, mark my words.

I'll be either marking your words or eating mine!

Soler isn't going to perform! hopefully the humble pie will be staying at the bottom of the freezer for the next three weeks!

Soler isn't going to perform!

are you kidding? The lads been training like mad, and is FLYING up the climbs, my sources tell me.

His stabilisers have come off the bike and everything.

Now open for trading. I shall leave it to someone more deserving to set up the league.

All together now: "Soler! Soler! Soler!"

My favourite Team Leader appears to be not riding, Mr Alejandro Valverde Belmonte.

My favourite Team Leader appears to be not riding, Mr Alejandro Valverde Belmonte.

He's up before the beak this week so he might not be riding for a couple of years!

Alejandro Valverde will confront the International Cycling Union (UCI) as well as the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) at Italy's anti-doping tribunal in connection to the 2006's Operación Puerto blood doping investigation. The Olympic Committee announced yesterday that Doctor Mario Zorzoli from the cycling union will attend the hearing on May 11 in Rome (10:15).

The Italian Olympic Committee requested a suspension of two years on April 1. Head anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri reportedly used DNA evidence to connect the 28-year-old Caisse d'Epargne rider to the Spanish Operación Puerto investigation. He linked DNA samples taken during last year's Tour de France – from the rest day in Italy on July 21 – to blood seized in the 2006 Puerto investigation.
